Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil."

"Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."

"All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better."

"Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science."

"Truth is handsomer than the affectation of love. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none."

"A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer."
