I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby.
Never seem more learned than the people you are with. Wear your learning like a pocket watch and keep it hidden. Do not pull it out to count the hours, but give the time when you are asked.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
What we have to do is to be forever curiously testing new opinions and courting new impressions.
Seize the moment of excited curiosity on any subject to solve your doubts; for if you let it pass, the desire may never return, and you may remain in ignorance.
