We may sit in our library and yet be in all quarters of the earth.
We profit little by books we do not enjoy.
All those who love Nature she loves in return, and will richly reward, not perhaps with the good things, as they are commonly called, but with the best things of this world-not with money and titles, horses and carriages, but with bright and happy thoughts, contentment and peace of mind.
I cannot, however, but think that the world would be better and brighter if our teachers would dwell on the Duty of Happiness as well as the Happiness of Duty; for we ought to be as cheerful as we can, if only because to be happy ourselves is a most effectual contribution to the happiness of others.
If we are ever in doubt what to do, it is a good rule to ask ourselves what we shall wish on the morrow that we had done.

If we succeed in giving the love of learning, the learning itself is sure to follow.
