Quote

Men are never very wise and select in the exercise of a new power

To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student

The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things

The wise only possess ideas, the great part of mankind are possessed by them

I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom, one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise

All noble enthusiasms pass through a feverish stage, and grow wiser and more serene
