Let children feed on the good, the excellent, the great! Don't get in their way with little lectures, facts, and guided tours!

Every person exceeds our power of measurement.

Do not let the endless succession of small things crowd great ideals out of sight and out of mind.

Let the parent ask "Why?" and the child produce the answer, if he can. After he has turned the matter over in his mind, there is no harm in telling him - and he will remember it - the reason why.

Composition is as natural as jumping and running to children who have been allowed due use of books.

Of all the joyous motives of school life, the love of knowledge is the only abiding one; the only one which determines the scale, so to speak, upon which the person will hereafter live.

Authority is just and faithful in all matters of promise-keeping; it is also considerate, and that is why a good mother is the best home-ruler.
