“To teach is to touch the heart and impel it to action.”

“Yet evidently the true object of education, now as ever, is to develop the capabilities of the head and of the heart.”

“We must now heed the imperative voice of emotion.”

“The wise man will live as long as he ought, not as long as he can.”

“In theory there is nothing to hinder our following what we are taught; but in life there are many things to draw us aside.”

“The better part of valour is discretion; in the which better part I have saved my life.”

“So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, so long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”
