The intellect is at home in that which is fixed only because it is done and over with, for intellect is itself just as much a deposit of past life as is the matter to which it is congenial. Intuition alone articulates in the forward thrust of life and alone lays hold of reality (With Quotes)
The discovery that mass changes with velocity, a discovery made when minute bodies came under consideration, finally forced surrender of the notion that mass is a fixed and inalienable possession of ultimate elements or individuals, so that time is now considered to be their fourth dimension (With 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 (With Quotes)
A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on cold iron (With Quotes)
Lost - Yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered, for they are gone forever (With Quotes)

Treat the other man's faith gently; it is all he has to believe with. His mind was created for his own thoughts, not yours or mine (With Quotes)
With some whose nerves have a deep covering of fat, happiness is less of a problem that it is an accident of anatomy (With Quotes)
It would be as natural for a full-grown tiger to mew as for a man released from the slavery of imitations ever to go back to his neighbor again with: What do you think of this? What do you advise about that? (With Quotes)
The rare individual who has learned to govern himself is too fed up with the labor of it to want to govern anybody else (With Quotes)
