We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.

No one has yet fully realised the wealth of sympathy, kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
Love me or hate me, both are in my favour… If you love me, I’ll always be in your heart… If you hate me, I’ll always be in your mind.
Mankind is a great, immense family… This is proved by what we feel in our hearts at Christmas.
