"Never mind that; we came at last. And at the next change there will be something very superior to us—something with wings. Ah! That's it: we were fishes, and I believe we shall be crows."

"Is man an ape or an angel? Now I am on the side of the angels."

"Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been discovered that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery."

"As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information."

"We are not creatures of circumstance; we are creators of circumstance."
