As a boy holding to a post or a pillar whirls about it with headlong speed without any fear or falling, so perform your worldly duties, fixing your hold firmly upon God, and you will be free from danger (Upon Quotes)
Any education given by a group tends to socialize its members, but the quality and the value of the socialization depends upon the habits and aims of the group. Hence, once more, the need of a measure for the worth of any given mode of social life (Upon Quotes)

The educative value of manual activities and of laboratory exercises, as well as of play, depends upon the extent in which they aid in bringing about a sensing of the meaning of what is going on. In effect, if not in name, they are dramatizations (Upon Quotes)
A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is wrong to his family. Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it. And the love of knowledge, in a young mind, is almost a warrant against the inferior excitement of passions and vices (Upon Quotes)
When it comes to sports I am not particularly interested. Generally speaking, I look upon them as dangerous and tiring activities performed by people with whom I share nothing except the right to trial by jury (Upon Quotes)
Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don't are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn't put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a Lesbian (Upon Quotes)
I'm always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before (Upon Quotes)
I always looked upon the acts of racist exclusion, or insult, as pitiable, from the other person. I never absorbed that. I always thought that there was something deficient about such people (Upon Quotes)
I believe that one of the principle ways in which we acquire, hold, and digest information, is via narrative, so I hope you will understand when the remarks I make begin with the first sentence of our childhood, that we all remember, the phrase: Once upon a time (Upon Quotes)
For it is the suffering flesh, it is suffering, it is death, that lovers perpetuate upon the Earth. Love is at once the brother, son, and father of death, which is its sister, mother, and daughter. And thus it is that in the depth of love there is a depth of eternal despair, out of which spring hope and consolation (Upon Quotes)
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them (Upon Quotes)
The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life (Upon Quotes)
We distinguish the excellent man from the common man by saying that the former is the one who makes great demands upon himself, and the latter who makes no demands on himself (Upon Quotes)
To excel the past we must not allow ourselves to lose contact with it; on the contrary, we must feel it under our feet because we raised ourselves upon it (Upon Quotes)
It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed (Upon Quotes)
I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction (Upon Quotes)
The Papacy is not other than the Ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof (Upon Quotes)
"Where there is a will there is a way", is an old and true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement (Upon Quotes)
Where there is a will there is a way. Is an old true saying. He who resolves upon doing a thing, by that very resolution often scales the barriers to it, and secures its achievement. To think we are able, is almost to be so - to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself (Upon Quotes)
Experience serves to prove that the worth and strength of a state depend far less upon the form of its institutions than upon the character of its men; for the nation is only the aggregate of individual conditions, and civilization itself is but a question of personal, improvement (Upon Quotes)
There are many persons of whom it may be said that they have no other possession in the world but their character, and yet they stand as firmly upon it as any crowned king (Upon Quotes)
His qualities depend, not upon fashion or manners, but upon moral worth; not on personal possessions, but on personal qualities. The Psalmist briefly describes him as one that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness, and speaketh the truth in his heart (Upon Quotes)
The career of a great man remains an enduring monument of human energy. The man dies and disappears, but his thoughts and acts survive, and leave an indelible stamp upon his race (Upon Quotes)
Slowly he rose, mechanically wiping his hands upon his cloak. A dark scowl had settled on his somber brow. Yet he made no wild, reckless vow, swore no oath by saints or devils. Men shall die for this, he said coldly (Upon Quotes)
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing (Upon Quotes)
Liberation is a praxis: the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it (Upon Quotes)
Authentic thinking, thinking that is concerned about reality, does not take place in ivory tower isolation, but only in communication. If it is true that thought has meaning only when generated by action upon the world, the subordination of students to teachers becomes impossible (Upon Quotes)
Founding itself upon love, humility, and faith, dialogue becomes a horizontal relationship of which mutual trust between the dialoguers is a logical consequence (Upon Quotes)
