"A little unsure of himself in her presence, he always addressed her in questions, a habit common to parents, sovereigns, generals, and teachers."
"It is better to teach a few things perfectly than many things indifferently, and an overloaded curriculum is useless. The object of instruction is not to produce technicians, but good active minds."
