There are certain things that we can accomplish by law and there are certain things that we cannot accomplish by law or by any process of government. We cannot legislate intelligence. We cannot legislate morality. Nor can we legislate loyalty, for loyalty is a kind of morality.

There will be certain things in a man that have to be won, not forced; inspired, not compelled.

It is a barren kind of criticism which tells you what a thing is not.

Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale.

Liberal learning is both a safeguard against false ideas of freedom and a source of true ones.

Self-respect cannot be hunted. It cannot be purchased. It is never for sale. It cannot be fabricated out of public relations. It comes to us when we are alone, in quiet moments, in quiet places, when we suddenly realize that, knowing the good, we have done it; knowing the beautiful, we have served it; knowing the truth we have spoken it

The source of better ideas is wisdom. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education.
