The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.

What a cage is to the wild beast, law is to the selfish man.

Education has for its object the formation of character. To curb restive propensities, to awaken dormant sentiments, to strengthen the perceptions, and cultivate the tastes, to encourage this feeling and repress that, so as finally to develop the child into a man of well proportioned and harmonious nature, this is alike the aim of parent and teacher.

Religion is the recognition that all things are manifestations of a Power which transcends our knowledge.

Every cause produces more than one effect.

Divine right of kings means the divine right of anyone who can get uppermost.

Whatever fosters militarism makes for barbarism; whatever fosters peace makes for civilization.
