All that any of us has to do in this world is his simple duty

Value friendship for what there is in it, not for what can be gotten out of it.

Hardly anything can be more important in the mental training of a child than the bringing him to do it in its proper time, whether he enjoys it or not. The measure of a child's ability to do this becomes, in the long run, the measure of his practical efficiency in whatever sphere of life he labors.

In the time of Jesus the mount of transfiguration was on the way to the cross. In our day the cross is on the way to the mount of transfiguration. If you would be on the mountain. you must consent to pass over the road to it.

Friendship by its very nature consists in loving, rather than in being loved.

It is not an easy thing for a parent of today to bear always in mind that every child of his is as truly an individual as he was when he was a child.

He who knows how to teach a child is not competent for the oversight of a child's education unless he also knows how to train a child.
