By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

"We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities."

"Everything in creation has its appointed painter or poet and remains in bondage like the princess in the fairy tale 'til its appropriate liberator comes to set it free."

"What can we see, read, acquire, but ourselves. Take the book, my friend, and read your eyes out, you will never find there what I find."

"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore."
