Among those evils which befall us, there are many which have been more painful to us in the prospect than by their actual pressure.
Joseph AddisonEducation is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.
Joseph AddisonOne may know a man that never conversed in the world, by his excess of good-breeding.
