—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”

“A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.”
