“All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind”

“The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely”

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions”

“A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated”

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”

“True silence is the rest of the mind, and is to the spirit what sleep is to the body, nourishment and refreshment”
