Page 28 - If we prove that a2 = ft2 + c* — 2bc cos A , then, however A may change, the law itself will never vary. In it the pupil comes into touch with the unchangeable, with the absolute. It is the same with all other laws of geometry. In any convex polyhedron, whatever its shape, the law remains that the number of faces plus the number of vertices is equal to the number of edges increased by two. "Change and decay in all around I see...
Page 322 - If you want to know whether you are destined to be a success or a failure in life, you can easily find out. The test is simple and it is infallible : Are you able to save money ? If not, drop out. You will lose. You may think not, but you will lose as sure as you live. The seed of success is not in you.

Page 171 - We are now working toward, and fighting for, a world in which the harvest of democracy may be reaped. In order to make the world safe for democracy, we must make democracy safe for the healthy child. In order to ban autocracy, exploitation, and inequality in the world, we must realize that the first inequality in life is that of child and adult.
