“Women were designed by their nature, elegance, and softness to endear domestic life by man, to make virtue lovely to children, to spread around them order and grace, and to give to society its highest polish.
“No attainments can be above beings whose end and aim it is to accomplish purposes at once so elegant and so salutary; every means should be used to invigorate by principle and culture such native excellence and grace.”

“Skill to do comes of doing; knowledge comes to eyes always open and working hands; and there is no knowledge that is not power.”

EMERSON

“Light of any kind invariably throws light upon duty, and if we know anything we are sure to have thereby a clearer notion of right from wrong. The mere awakening of the understanding must awaken the conscience in some degree. You cannot gain more intellectual power without also gaining moral light. Just as the coming of the daylight shows you the beauty of nature at the same moment that it shows you the position surrounding, so, too, even the merest science must reveal in some slight degree the beauty of the will of God.”
