"For the mind must be prepared for knowledge as one prepares a field for planting, and a discovery made too soon is no better than a discovery not made at all.”

“I seek to be seeking, as I learn to be learning. Each book is an adventure as is each day’s horizon.”

“The best of all things is to learn. Money can be lost or stolen, health and strength may fail, but what you have committed to your mind is yours forever.”

"Honor can be a troublesome thing, but if one has it one does not lightly yield it."
