Men are like trees: each one must put forth the leaf that is created in him.
Education is only like good culture,--it changes the size, but not the sort.
To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe.
Ignorance is the womb of monsters.
Genius unexerted is no more genius than a bushel of acorns is a forest of oaks.
We may cover a multitude of sins with the white robe of charity.
