A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.

Many of the greatest men have owed their success to industry rather than to cleverness.

Exercise of the muscles keeps the body in health, and exercise of the brain brings peace of mind.

Time is a trust, and for every minute of it you will have to account.

Savages have often been likened to children, and the comparison is not only correct but also highly instructive. Many naturalists consider that the early condition of the individual indicates that of the race,-that the best test of the affinities of a species are the stages through which it passes. So also it is in the case of man; the life of each individual is an epitome of the history of the race, and the gradual development of the child illustrates that of the species.

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should have the opportunity of teaching itself. What does it matter if the pupil know a little more or a little less? A boy who leaves school knowing much, but hating his lessons, will soon have forgotten all he ever learned; while another who had acquired a thirst for knowledge, even if he had learned little, would soon teach himself more than the first ever knew.

We profit little by books we do not enjoy.
