I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars, and already begin to have a new enjoyment.

The greatest object in educating is to give a right habit of study.

There is something of the same pleasure in noticing the hues of the stars that there is in looking at a flower garden in autumn.

Women, more than men, are bound by tradition and authority. What the father, the brother, the doctor, and the minister have said has been received undoubtingly. Until women throw off this reverence for authority they will not develop.

To read a book, to think it over, and to write out notes is a useful exercise; a book which will not repay some hard thought is not worth publishing.

The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power!

Let us secure not such books as people want, but books just above their wants, and they will reach up to take what is put out for them.
