Taste Has Never Been Corrupted By Simplicity.

Men Must Be Either The Slaves Of Duty, Or The Slaves Of Force.

Education Should Be Gentle And Stern, Not Cold And Lax.

Avoid Singularity. There May Often Be Less Vanity In Following The New Modes Than In Adhering To The Old Ones. It Is True That The Foolish Invent Them, But The Wise May Conform To, Instead Of Contradicting, Them.

Children Must Be Rendered Reasonable, But Not Reasoners. The First Thing To Teach Them Is That It Is Reasonable For Them To Obey, And Unreasonable For Them To Dispute.

Poetry Is To Be Found Nowhere Unless We Carry It Within Us.
