"Teach correctly... Find delight in contemplation...." - Quote by Saint Augustine

“Peace in society depends upon peace in the family.”

“What you are must always displease you, if you would attain to that which you are not.”

“Keep on adding, keep on walking, keep on progressing: do not delay on the road, do not go back, do not deviate.”

“In teaching there should be no distinction of classes.”

“Master and Doctor are my titles; for ten years now, without repose, I held my erudite recitals and led my pupils by the nose.”

“And when I am forgotten, as I shall be, And asleep in dull cold marble, where no mention Of me must be heard of, say, I taught thee.”

“To contemplate a thing implies maintaining oneself OUTSIDE it, resolved to keep a distance between it and ourselves.”

“I delight to come to my bearings,... not to live in this restless, nervous, bustling, trivial Nineteenth Century, but stand or sitthoughtfully while it goes by.”

“But it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in the most humorous sadness.”
