Wit is the rarest quality to be met with among people of education, and the most common among the uneducated.

Art is the microscope of the mind, which sharpens the wit as the other does the sight, and converts every object into a little universe in itself.

Learning is its own exceeding great reward.

One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.

Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.

People are not soured by misfortune, but by the reception they meet with in it.
