Strana 657 - ... others should reproach him, on the supposition of my having conceived myself obliged, by his instructions, to run the risk I did. I would not for the world leave a sting in his mind that should embitter his future days.
Strana 261 - Education does not mean teaching people to know what they do not know — it means teaching them to behave as they do not behave.
