Plato, from a footnote in The Colloquy of Monos and Una, Edgar Allen Poe


It will be hard to discover a better [method of education] than that which the experience of so many ages has already discovered, and this may be summed up as consisting in gymnastics for the body, and _music_ for the soul... For this reason is a musical education so essential; since it causes Rhythm and Harmony to penetrate most intimately into the soul, taking the strongest hold upon it, filling it with _beauty_ and making the man _beautiful-minded_.

Joe Moore


If you want to know what God thinks of money, look at the people He gives it to.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


Knowledge exists to be imparted.

Every great improvement has come after repeated failure. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are the posts on the road to achievement.

Victor Marie Hugo


Adversity makes men, and prosperity makes monsters.

Mark Twain


Providence protects children and idiots. I know because I have tested it.

Karin Ireland
