For the mind is all the easier to teach before it is set.
That which offends the ear will not easily gain admission to the mind.
The mind is exercised by the variety and multiplicity of the subject matter, while the character is moulded by the contemplation of virtue and vice.
The gifts of nature are infinite in their variety, and mind differs from mind almost as much as body from body.
Our minds are like our stomaches; they are whetted by the change of their food, and variety supplies both with fresh appetite.
We must form our minds by reading deep rather than wide.
If you direct your whole thought to work itself, none of the things which invade eyes or ears will reach the mind.
While we are making up our minds as to when we shall begin. the opportunity is lost.
