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

We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.

All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.

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.

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.

Art trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life.
