Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb, brooks to wade in, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets; and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.
Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
Freedom and order are not incompatible; truth is strength; free discussion is the very life of truth.
