"Of course you will insist on modesty..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“There is no one who does not exaggerate!”

“The age of a woman doesn't mean a thing. The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles.”

“What a searching preacher of self-command is the varying phenomenon of health.”

“I didn't go to college, but if I did, I would've taken all my tests at a restaurant, 'cause 'The customer is always right'.”

“Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.”

“It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.”

“Parentage is a very important profession, but no test of fitness for it is ever imposed in the interest of the children.”

“I think that if all kids aspire to reach a point where they could feed themselves and a few of their friends, this would be good for the world surely.”

“All too rarely do I hear people asking just what it is that we've done to make so many children's hearts so hard, or what collectively we might do to right their moral compass - what values we must live by.”
