God multiplies intelligence, which communicates itself, like fire, ad infinitum. Light a thousand torches at one touch, the flame remains always the same.

Think of the ills from which you are exempt.

Life is a country that the old have seen, and lived in. Those who have to travel through it can only learn from them.

There is in the soul a taste for the good, just as there is in the body an appetite for enjoyment.

Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.

Close your eyes and you will see.

Education should be gentle and stern, not cold and lax.
