If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.

To make a statement that one knows is false is more honest than to make a statement that one knows is true.

Lionel Suggs

Listen to many, speak to a few.

William Shakespeare

Talent without working hard is nothing.

Cristiano Ronaldo

No one does anything from a single motive.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

Hernando Cortez

Courage is the capacity to conduct oneself with restraint in times of prosperity and with courage and tenacity when things do not go well.

James V. Forrestal

All men are equal before fish.

Herbert Hoover

A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism and moral relativism, taken outside midfield, leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness, which are often identical.

Conrad Black

When a woman is twenty, a child deforms her; when she is thirty, he preserves her; and when forty, he makes her young again.

Leon Blum

Safety is from God alone.

Anon.

I have often thought that if heaven had given me choice of my position and calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well watered, and near a good market for the productions of the garden. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. Such a variety of subjects, some one always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the success of another, and instead of one harvest, a continued one thro' the year. Under a total want of demand except for our family table. I am still devoted to the garden. But tho' an old man, I am but a young gardener.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Char

In the human heart new passions are forever being born; the overthrow of one almost always means the rise of another.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
