I believe that our own experience instructs us that the secret of Education lies in respecting the pupil.

Shall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.

No man has a right perception of any truth, who has not been reacted on by it, so as to be ready to be its martyr.

If you cannot be free be as free as you can.

Our high respect for a well-read man is praise enough for literature. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Life is comic or pitiful as soon as the high ends of being fade out of sight, and man becomes near-sighted, and can only attend towhat addresses the senses.

A person seldom falls sick but the bystanders are animated with a faint hope that he will die.
