Halaman 93 - It alone prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread therein. It keeps the fisherman and the deck-hand at sea through the winter; it holds the miner in his darkness, and nails the countryman to his log cabin and his lonely farm through all the months of snow; it protects us from invasion by the natives of the desert and the frozen zone.

Halaman 90 - The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy. It is to fund and capitalize our acquisitions, and live at ease upon the interest of the fund.

Halaman 103 - A beautiful form is better than a beautiful face ; a beautiful behavior is better than a beautiful form : it gives a higher pleasure than statues or pictures; it is the finest of the fine arts.
Halaman 190 - Every person has two educations, — one which he receives from others, and one, more important, which he gives himself.
Halaman 40 - True religion undoubtedly leads us to do to others as we would that they should do to us.
Halaman 122 - BETTER is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than a house full of sacrifices with strife.
