10 Quotes


1.     Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

4.     People who lean on logic and philosophy and rational exposition end by starving the best part of the mind.

5.     Man can embody truth but he cannot know it.

6.      When you are old and gray and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.

7.     Think like a wise man but communicate in the language of the people.

8.     The creations of a great writer are little more than the moods and passions of his own heart, given surnames and Christian names, and sent to walk the earth.

9.     The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.


10.   In dreams begin responsibilities.
