Quotation responses continued.)
Children are initiative beings; they copy
the manners of those with whom they are
associated.
Not failure but low aim is the disgrace.
People seem not to see that their opinion
of the world is also confession of charac-
ter.
From the lowest depth may be found
path leading to the lOftiest height.
OF making many books there is no end;
and much study is WEAKNESS of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole
matter: fear God and keep his command
ments; for this is the whole duty of man.
Each scholar demands respectful atten-
ton without regard to rank, age, or associa-
ton.
Practice what you teach.
But a small part of teachers education
can be obtained from books.
What is worth doing at all is worth doing
well.
If you want anything done, do it your
self.
The evil that men do lives after them; the
good is often inferred with their bones.
Our first duty to the children is to make
them happy.
Go, make thy garden as fair as thou canst,
Thou workest never alone,
Perchance he, whose plot is next thine,
May see and mend his own.
For my part. / am convinced that the
method of teaching which approaches most
nearly the method of investigation is incom-
parably the best, since it is not content with
serving up few barren and lifeless truths;
it leads to the stock on which they grow.
We are paid in the gold Of culture for all
the dross of time, which we expend.
He who binds his soul to knowledge,
steals the key of heaven.
Time wasted is existence, used is life.
To spend too much time i'm sloth, to use
them too much for ornament is affectation,
to make judgment wholly by their rules is
the humor of a scholar.
The talent of success is nothing more than
doing what you can well, without a thought
of fame.
Wisdom is the lamp of our lives.
We should work as though we were going
to liye forever, and live as though we were
going to die tomorrow.
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned nights repose.
There is nothing more frightful than for
teacher to know only what his scholars
are expected to know.
God doth not need either mans work or
his own gifts; his state is kingly; thousands
at his bidding sneed and post o.er land and
ocean without rest. They also serve who
only stand and wait
Read not to contradict and confute, nor to
believe and take for granted, nor to find
talk and discourse; but to weigh and con-
sider
Education Is a better safeguard of liberty
than standing army.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore
get common sense.
The betterment of mankind from genera
tion to generation, physically, mentally and
morally is the one great object supremely
worthy of effort and sacrifice.
Moral character is the chief end of an ed
ucation.
Experience is trophy composed of all
the weapons by which we have been
wounded.
The ways, they are many; the end, il is
one.
Heaven is not reached by single bound
We build the ladder by which we rise
From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies
And mount its SUBMITS round by round.
Shall l tell you the secret of the true
scholar? Every man meet Is my master
in some particular and in that learn of
him.
