• Children who wish to become good and great men or good and noble women, should try to know well all the people whom they meet.

• But we are pledged to set the world free. Our toil must be in silence, and our efforts all in secret. For in this enlightened age, when men believe not even what they see, the doubting of wise men would be his greatest strength.
