Life without learning is death.

For no phase of life, whether public or private, whether in business or in the home, whether one is working on what concerns oneself alone or dealing with another, can be without its moral duty; on the discharge of such duties depends all that is morally right, and on their neglect all that is morally wrong in life.

For many wish not so much to be, as to seem to be, endowed with real virtue.

The spirit is the true self.

Any man can make a mistake; only a fool keeps making the same one.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.
