Every Event In This World

Had I The Power, I Would Scatter Libraries Over The Whole Land As The Sower Sows His Wheatfield.

Time Is A Seedfield; In Youth We Sow It With Causes; In After Life We Reap The Harvest Of Effects.

Avoid Witticisms At The Expense Of Others.

The Pulpit Only "teaches" To Be Honest; The Market-place "trains" To Overreaching And Fraud; And Teaching Has Not A Tithe Of The Efficiency Of Training. Christ Never Wrote A Tract, But He Went About Doing Good.

In Our Country And In Our Times No Man Is Worthy The Honored Name Of Statesman Who Does Not Include The Highest Practicable Education Of The People In All His Plans Of Administration. He May Have Eloquence, He May Have A Knowledge Of All History, Diplomacy, Jurisprudence; And By These He Might Claim, In Other Countries, The Elevated Rank Of A Statesman: But Unless He Speaks, Plans, Labors, At All Times And In All Places, For The Culture And Edification Of The Whole People, He Is Not, He Cannot Be, An American Statesman.
