Pause to ponder
Let early education be a sort of amusement. You will then be better able to discover the child's natural talent.
Man , preceded by the forest,
Is followed by the desert.
Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame.
Nature, in giving tears to man, confessed that he had a tender heart. This is our noblest quality.
The search for happiness is one of the chief sources of unhappiness.
The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.
The more I read, the more I meditate, and the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.
The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves.
Only he who keeps his eye fixed on the horizon will find his right road.
If I don't practice music one day, I know it, two days, the critics know it, three days, the public knows it.
The decline of literature indicates the decline of a nation.
Mathematics possesses not only truth,but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of a sculpture, without any appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
The test of any government is to the extent to which it increases the good in the people.
Two men look out through the same window.
One sees the mud, and one the stars.
