What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch... - Henry David Thoreau

"The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them."

"Men are born to succeed, not to fail."

"A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend."

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty."

"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."
