When We Are Sick Our Virtues And

Whatever Affection We Have For Our Friends Or Relations, The Happiness Of Others Never Suffices For Our Own.

Most People Grow Old Within A Small Circle Of Ideas, Which They Have Not Discovered For Themselves. There Are Perhaps Less Wrong-minded People Than Thoughtless.

If Children Had Teachers For Judgment And Eloquence Just As They Have For Languages, If Their Memory Was Exercised Less Than Their Energy Or Their Natural Genius, If Instead Of Deadening Their Vivacity Of Mind We Tried To Elevate The Free Scope And Impulse Of Their Souls, What Might Not Result From A Fine Disposition? As It Is, We Forget That Courage, Or Love Of Truth And Glory Are The Virtues That Matter Most In Youth; And Our One Endeavour Is To Subdue Our Children's Spirits, In Order To Teach Them That Dependence And Suppleness Are The First Laws Of Success In Life.

Emotions Have Taught Mankind To Reason.

The Young Suffer Less From Their Own Errors Than From The Cautiousness Of The Old.
