Every artists wants to be applauded

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

One must choose between making a man or a citizen, for one cannot make both at the same time.

There are two things to be considered with regard to any scheme. In the first place, Is it good in itself? In the second, Can it be easily put into practice?

Everything is good as it comes from the hands of the Maker of the world, but degenerates once it gets into the hands of man

Teach your scholar to observe the phenomena of nature; you will soon rouse his curiosity, but if you would have it grow, do not be in too great a hurry to satisfy this curiosity. Put the problems before him and let him solve them himself. Let him know nothing because you have told him, but because he has learnt it for himself. Let him not be taught science, let him discover it. If ever you substitute authority for reason he will cease to reason; he will be a mere plaything of other people's thoughts.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.
