It is always wise to look ahead, but difficult to look further than you can see.

Do not criticize your government when out of the country. Never cease to do so when at home

We must learn from misfortune the means of future strength.

The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.

The person must be blind, indeed, who can not see, that here on earth a great project, a great plan, is executed, may work on the realization of which we participate as faithful servants.

When danger is far off we may think of our weakness; when it is near we must not forget our strength.

It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.
