A Teacher Who Is Attempting To Teach

It Is Well, When The Wise And The Learned Discover New Truths; But How Much Better To Diffuse The Truths Already Discovered, Amongst The Multitude! Every Addition To True Knowledge Is An Addition To Human Power; And While A Philosopher Is Discovering One New Truth, Millions May Be Propagated Amongst The People. Diffusion, Then, Rather Than Discovery, Is The Duty Of Our Government.

Virtue Is An Angel, But She Is A Blind One, And Must Ask Knowledge To Show Her The Pathway That Leads To Her Goal.

Knowledge Is But An Instrument, Which The Profligate And The Flagitious May Use As Well As The Brave And The Just.

Under The Sublime Law Of Progress, The Present Outgrows The Past. The Great Heart Of Humanity Is Heaving With The Hopes Of A Brighter Day. All The Higher Instincts Of Our Nature Prophesy Its Approach; And The Best Intellects Of The Race Are Struggling To Turn That Prophecy Into Fulfilment.

Much That We Call Evil Is Really Good In Disguises; And We Should Not Quarrel Rashly With Adversities Not Yet Understood, Nor Overlook The Mercies Often Bound Up In Them.
