Education, like faith, is the evidence of things not seen.

Education, like faith, is the evidence of things not seen.

Never be within doors when you can rightly be without.

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.

Give your child a single valuable idea, and you have done more for his education than if you had laid upon his mind the burden of bushels of information.

Education is a life; that life is sustained on ideas; ideas are of spiritual origin, and that we get them chiefly as we convey them to one another. The duty of parents is to sustain a child's inner life with ideas as they sustain his body with food.

A child gets moral notions from the fairy-tales he delights in, as do his elders from tale and verse.
