A Wise System Of Education

We Are All Great Landed Proprietors, If We Only Knew It. What We Lack Is Not Land, But The Power To Enjoy It. Moreover, This Great Inheritance Has The Additional Advantage That It Entails No Labor, Requires No Management. The Landlord Has The Trouble, But The Landscape Belongs To Everyone Who Has Eyes To See It.

Here Are The Three Great Questions Which In Life We Have Over And Over Again To Answer: Is It Right Or Wrong? Is It True Or False? Is It Beautiful Or Ugly? Our Education Ought To Help Us To Answer These Questions.

Cultivate All Your Faculties; You Must Either Use Them Or Lose Them
