Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.

A day of worry is more exhausting than a week of work.

Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.

We often hear of people breaking down from overwork, but in nine out of ten they are really suffering from worry or anxiety.

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.

When we have done our best, we should wait the result in peace.

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.

Our duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.

What we see depends mainly on what we look for.

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.
