"The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life"

"Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something."

"Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child's natural bent."

"Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous."

"Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history."

"Then the lover, who is true and no counterfeit, must of necessity be loved by his love."

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something."
