than the company you are with.
Treat your learning like a watch and keep it hidden.
Do not pull it out to count the hours,
but give the time when you are asked.

What I am thinking and doing day by day
is resistlessly shaping my future -
a future in which there is no expiation except through my own better conduct.
No one can live my life for me.
If I am wise I shall begin today to build my own truer
and better world from within.
- H. W. DRESSER
Every generation, no matter how paltry its character,
thinks itself much wiser
than the one immediately preceding it,
let alone those that are more remote.

When we know how to read our own hearts,
we acquire wisdom of the hearts of others.
- DENIS DIDEROT
