Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.

We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.

In trying to teach children a great deal in a short time, they are treated not as though the race they were to run was for life, but simply a three-mile heat.

We must be purposely kind and generous or we miss the best part of life's existence.

There is nothing so costly as ignorance.

Genius may conceive but patient labor must consummate.
