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

Wise and purposeful letting alone is the best part of education.

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.

None of us can be proof against the influences that proceed from the persons he associates with. Wherefore, in books and men, let us look out for the best society, that which yields a bracing and wholesome influence.

Look on education as something between the child's soul and God. Modern Education tends to look on it as something between the child's brain and the standardized test.
