“Every mind was made for growth, for knowledge, and its nature is sinned against when it is doomed to ignorance”

“All that a man does outwardly is but the expression and completion of his inward thought. To work effectively, he must think clearly; to act nobly, he must think nobly”

“Nothing which has entered into our experience is ever lost”

“It is mind which does the work of the world, so that the more there is of mind, the more work will be accomplished”

““Literature - the expression of a nation's mind in writing”

“It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity”
