Where education has been entirely neglected, or improperly managed, we see the worst passions ruling with uncontrolled and incessant sway. Good sense degenerates into craft, and anger rankles into malignity. Restraint, which is thought most salutary, comes too late, and the most judicious admonitions are urged in vain. Dr. Samuel Parr.	2

Gratitude is a virtue which, according to the general apprehensions of mankind, approaches more nearly than any other social virtue to justice. Dr. Samuel Parr.	3

Sound policy is never at variance with substantial justice. Dr. Samuel Parr.	4

Lying supplies those who are addicted to it with a plausible apology for every crime, and with a supposed shelter from every punishment.

It corrupts the early simplicity of youth; it blasts the fairest blossoms of genius; and will most assuredly counteract every effort by which we may hope to improve the talents and mature the virtues of those whom it infects. Dr. Samuel Parr.	5

Youth is eminently the fittest season for establishing habits of industry. Dr. Samuel Parr.	6
