Teaching Isn't One-tenth As Effective As Training.

Ignorance Has Been Well Represented Under The Similitude Of A Dungeon, Where, Though It Is Full Of Life, Yet Darkness And Silence Reign. But In Society The Bars And Locks Have Been Broken; The Dungeon Itself Is Demolished; The Prisoners Are Out; They Are In The Midst Of Us. We Have No Security But To Teach And Renovate Them.

We Are Prone To Seek Immediate Pleasure Or Good, However Small, Rather Than Remote Pleasure Or Good, However Vast.

As An Innovation... The Establishment Of Free Schools Was The Boldest Ever Promulgated, Since The Commencement Of The Christian Era... Time Has Ratified Its Soundness. Two Centuries Proclaim It To Be As Wise As It Was Courageous, As Beneficient As It Was Disinterested. It Was One Of Those Grand Mental And Moral Experiments... The Sincerity Of Our Gratitude Must Be Tested By Our Efforts To Perpetuate And Improve What They Established. The Gratitude Of The Lips Only Is An Unholy Offering.

An Ignorant Man Is Always Able To Say Yes Or No Immediately To Any Proposition. To A Wise Man, Comparatively Few Things Can Be Propounded Which Do Not Require A Response With Qualifications, With Discriminations, With Proportion.

There May Be Frugality Which Is Not Economy. A Community, That Withholds The Means Of Education From Its Children, Withholds The Bread Of Life And Starves Their Souls.
