- Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.
- As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.
- Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.
