“It does not to dwell on dreams and forget to live, but it is equally foolish to ignore the past – never forget.”

“Thought and knowledge are natures in which apparatus and pretension avail nothing. Gowns, and pecuniary foundations, though of towns of gold, can never countervail the least sentence or syllable of wit. Forget this, and out American colleges will recede in their public importance whilst they grow richer every year.”

“so much of nature as he is ignorant of,so much of his own mind does not yet posess”

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.”

“It is easy to live for others, everybody does. I call on you to live for yourself.”

“With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now.”

“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.”
