Unfaithfulness In The Keeping Of An Appointment

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.

Generosity During Life Is A Very Different Thing From Generosity In The Hour Of Death; One Proceeds From Genuine Liberality And Benevolence, The Other From Pride Or Fear.

When A Child Can Be Brought To Tears, Not From Fear Of Punishment, But From Repentance For His Offence, He Needs No Chastisement. When The Tears Begin To Flow From Grief At One's Own Conduct, Be Sure There Is An Angel Nestling In The Bosom.

We Who Are Engaged In The Sacred Cause Of Education Are Entitled To Look Upon All Parents As Having Given Hostages To Our Cause.

Habit Can Overcome Anything But Instinct, And Can Greatly Modify Even That.
