“Happy will the house be in which the relationships are formed from character.”

“Pride, ill nature, and want of sense, are the three great sources of ill manners.”

“And once we have given our community a good start,' I pointed out, ' the process will be cumulative. By maintaining a sound system of education you produce citizens of good character, and citizens of sound character, with the advantage of a good education, produce in turn children better than themselves and better able to produce still better children in their turn, as can be seen with animals.”

“Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing.”

“Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending.”

“You've seen my descent, now watch my rising.”
