“The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it”

“Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong.”

“Why then seek to complete in a few decades what took the other nations of the world thousands of years? Why, in your hurry to subdue and utilize nature, squander her splendid gifts? You have opportunities such as mankind has never had before, and may never have again.”
