Despair Exaggerates Not Only Our Misery But

Reason And Emotion Counsel And Supplement Each Other. Whoever Heeds Only The One, And Puts Aside The Other, Recklessly Deprives Himself Of A Portion Of The Aid Granted Us For The Regulation Of Our Conduct.

Our Virtues Are Dearer To Us The More We Have Had To Suffer For Them. It Is The Same With Our Children. All Profound Affection Admits A Sacrifice.

Few Men Have Depth Enough To Hear Or Tell The Truth.

If Children Had Teachers For Judgment And Eloquence Just As They Have For Languages, If Their Memory Was Exercised Less Than Their Energy Or Their Natural Genius, If Instead Of Deadening Their Vivacity Of Mind We Tried To Elevate The Free Scope And Impulse Of Their Souls, What Might Not Result From A Fine Disposition? As It Is, We Forget That Courage, Or Love Of Truth And Glory Are The Virtues That Matter Most In Youth; And Our One Endeavour Is To Subdue Our Children's Spirits, In Order To Teach Them That Dependence And Suppleness Are The First Laws Of Success In Life.

You Must Maintain Strength Of Body In Order To Preserve Strength Of Mind.
