We who are engaged in the sacred cause of education are entitled to look upon all parents as having given hostages to our cause.

Deeds survive the doers.

The soul of the truly benevolent man does not seem to reside much in his own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the lives of others. It migrates into their bodies, and identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains.

There is a deeper pleasure in following truth to the scaffold or the cross, than in joining the multitudinous retinue, and mingling our shouts with theirs, when victorious error celebrates its triumphs.

It would be more honourable to our distinguished ancestors to praise them in words less, but in deeds to imitate them more.

He who cannot resist temptation is not a man. Whoever yields to temptation debases himself with a debasement from which he can never arise.

Education is an organic necessity of a human being.
