• What sort of tree is there which will not, if neglected, grow crooked and unfruitful; what but Will, if rightly ordered, prove productive and bring its fruit to maturity? What strength of body is there which will not lose its vigor and fall to decay by laziness, nice usage, and debauchery?

• Certainly I do not wish that instead of these masters I had read baby books, written down to children, and with such ignorant dullness that they blunt the sense and corrupt the tastes of the still plastic human being. But I do wish that I had read no books at all till later - that I had lived with toys, and played in the open air. Children should not cull the fruits of reflection and observation early, but expand in the sun, and let thoughts come to them. They should not through books antedate their actual experiences.

• Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit,
  Or what is worse, be left by it?
  Why dost thou load thyself when thou 'rt to fly,
  Oh, man! ordain'd to die?
  Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high,
  Thou who art under ground to lie?
  Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see,
  For death, alas! is reaping thee.
