"The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil."
"What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you."
"Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly and they will show themselves great."
"If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and adore."
