Better a child should be ignorant of a thousand truths than have consecrated in its heart a single lie.

Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them.

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things — not merely industrious, but to love industry — not merely learned, but to love knowledge — not merely pure, but to love purity — not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice.

Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.

Greatness is not a teachable nor gainable thing, but the expression of the mind of a God-made great man.

God intends no man to live in this world without working, but it seems to me no less evident that He intends every man to be happy in his work.

You may assuredly find perfect peace, if you are resolved to do that which your Lord has plainly required--and content that He should indeed require no more of you--than to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with Him.
