Summary

This quote suggests that the nature of our actions is greatly influenced by the state of our hearts or inner beings. Just as different landscapes gain their diversity from the interplay of light and shadows, our actions reflect the color and tone of our hearts. If our hearts are pure and genuine, our actions will also be noble and virtuous. Conversely, if our hearts are tainted or filled with negativity, our actions will likely be dishonest or harmful. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of cultivating a compassionate and authentic heart to guide our behavior towards goodness.

It facilitates labor and thought so much that there is always the temptation in large schools to omit the endless task of meeting the wants of each single mind, and to govern by steam. But it is at frightful cost. Our modes of Education aim to expedite, to save labor; to do for masses what cannot be done for masses, what must be done reverently, one by one: say rather, the whole world is needed for the tuition of each pupil.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
