The Mind: and the Duty of Right Thinking
"All ye who possess the power of thought, prize it well! Remember that its flight is infinite; it winds about over so many mountain tops, and so runs from poetry to eloquence, it so flies from star to star, it so dreams, so loves, so aspires, so hangs both over mystery and fact, that we may well call it the effort of man to explore the home, the infinite palace of his heavenly Father."—Swing.
"Men with empires in their brains."—Lowell.
"'Tis the mind that makes the body rich."—Taming of the Shrew.
"Like thoughts whose very sweetness yieldeth proof
That they were born for immortality."—Wordsworth.
"Neither years nor books have yet availed to extirpate a prejudice then rooted in me that a scholar is the favorite of heaven and earth, the excellency of his country, the happiest of men."—Emerson.
"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, for the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold."—Solomon.
