When Defeat Is Inevitable, It Is Wisest

That Which Offends The Ear Will Not Easily Gain Admission To The Mind.

A Religion Without Mystics Is A Philosophy.

Give Bread To A Stranger, In The Name Of The Universal Brotherhood Which Binds Together All Men Under The Common Father Of Nature.

Give Me The Boy Who Rouses When He Is Praised, Who Profits When He Is Encouraged And Who Cries When He Is Defeated. Such A Boy Will Be Fired By Ambition; He Will Be Stung By Reproach, And Animated By Preference; Never Shall I Apprehend Any Bad Consequences From Idleness In Such A Boy.

God, That All-powerful Creator Of Nature And Architect Of The World, Has Impressed Man With No Character So Proper To Distinguish Him From Other Animals, As By The Faculty Of Speech.
