Live up to the best that
is in you: live noble lives, as you all may, in whatever condition
you may find yourselves.

To be thrown upon one's
resources is to be cast into the lap of fortune.

education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

Never imitate.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
If we would see the color
of our future, we must look for it in our present; if we would
gaze on the star of our destiny, we must look for it in our
hearts.
Canon Farrar
Education is not a luxury
but a necessity,
without which a nation cannot progress in any way.

G. K. Chesterson
Intelligence plus character--that
is the goal of true education.

weaken or destroy.
Edwin Hubbell Chapin
