Education Is A Capital To The Poor

Biography, Especially Of The Great And Good, Who Have Risen By Their Own Exertions To Eminence And Usefulness, Is An Inspiring And Ennobling Study. Its Direct Tendency Is To Reproduce The Excellence It Records.

Spurn Not At Seeming Error, But Dig Below Its Surface For The Truth; And Beware Of Seeming Truths That Grow On The Roots Of Error.

Education Must Bring The Practice As Nearly As Possible To The Theory. As The Children Now Are, So Will The Sovereigns Soon Be.

If Ever There Was A Cause, If Ever There Can Be A Cause, Worthy To Be Upheld By All Of Toil Or Sacrifice That The Human Heart Can Endure, It Is The Cause Of Education. It Has Intrinsic And Indestructible Merits. It Holds The Welfare Of Mankind In Its Embrace, As The Protecting Arms Of A Mother Hold Her Infant To Her Bosom. The Very Ignorance And Selfishness Which Obstructs Its Path Are The Strongest Arguments For Its Promotion, For It Furnishes The Only Adequate Means For Their Removal.

There Is Not A Good Work Which The Hand Of Man Has Ever Undertaken, Which His Heart Has Ever Conceived, Which Does Not Require A Good Education For Its Helper.
