Sayfa 88 - Like Cato, give his little senate laws, And sit attentive to his own applause ; While wits and templars every sentence raise, And wonder with a foolish face of praise — Who but must laugh if such a man there be ? Who would not weep, if Atticus were he...
Sayfa 77 - My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the living God : when shall I come to appear before the presence of God?
Sayfa 124 - The ideal of a general, liberal training is, to carry us to a knowledge of ourselves and the world. We are called to this knowledge by special aptitudes which are born with us; the grand thing in teaching is to have faith that some aptitudes of this kind everyone has.
Sayfa vii - Ye alight in our van! at your voice, Panic, despair, flee away. Ye move through the ranks, recall The stragglers, refresh the outworn, Praise, re-inspire the brave!
Sayfa 117 - There is no better way for the student to train himself in the choice of the very word that will fit his thought than by translation from Latin and Greek. Thus he develops habits of analysis, habits of discriminating choice of words, habits of accurate apprehension of the meaning which another has sought to convey by written words, which lead to power of expression and to power of clear thinking.

He said that unless the young men of America submitted to the arduous discipline and drill of training and the hard fierce knocks of fighting football, we should have no adequate officers for our next war. But I won't want to use that reasoning on my small son.
Sayfa 113 - It has been well said that the purpose of education is not so much to prepare children for their occupations as against their occupations. It must develop in them the powers and interest that will make them the masters and not the slaves of their work.
Sayfa 178 - The game which is lost may be cancelled by victory on the succeeding day. And all this serves to create in the mind of the impressionable a picture of life more accurate than that which is conveyed by football. Defeat is a portion of every man born into the world. He must learn to accept it and, if he is to amount to much in his community, he must get from every check a certain stimulus to appeal from the decision. There is no use crying over spilt milk because it is no great trouble to run around...
Sayfa 181 - A long cheer with three Harvards on the end," cries the man in the white sweater through his megaphone. It is entirely possible that at the precise moments he calls upon me and my fellows to declare ourselves there is stored up in none of us more than a short cheer. It may even be that we have no inclination to cheer at all.
