A fad lives its life in a few weeks; a philosophy lives through generations and centuries; a principle, forever.

Life is a state of constant radiation and absorption; to exist is to radiate; to exist is to be the recipient of radiations.

We carry our house plants from one window to another to give them the proper heat, light, and moisture. Should we not be at least as careful of ourselves?

There is a tonic strength, in the hour of sorrow and affliction, in escaping from the world and society and getting back to the simple duties and interests we have slighted and forgotten. Our world grows smaller, but it grows dearer and greater. Simple things have a new charm for us, and we suddenly realize that we have been renouncing all that is greatest and best, in our pursuit of some phantom.

Education, in its highest sense, is conscious training of mind or body to act unconsciously. It is conscious formation of mental habits, not mere acquisition of information.

Life is simply time given to man to learn how to live.

Gratitude is thankfulness expressed in action.
