“Intercourse is after all man's best teacher. "Know thyself" is an excellent maxim; but even self-knowledge cannot be perfected in closets and cloisters--nor amid lake scenery, and on the sunny side of the mountains. Men who seldom mix with their fellow-creatures are almost sure to be one-sided--the victims of fixed ideas, that sometimes lead to insanity.” KnowsMenIdeasSelfSometimesSidesTeacherMountainCreaturesFellowsVictimExcellentInsanityFixedLakesSelf KnowledgeClosetsMaximsThyselfIntercourseSunnySceneryKnow ThyselfBest TeacherOne SidedMountain ManSunny Side Author:William Matthews
“People always got the image I was an anti-Christ or antireligion. I'm not. I'm a most religious fellow. I was brought up a Christian and I only now understand some of the things that Christ was saying in those parables. Because people got hooked on the teacher and missed the message. All this bit about electing a President.

“If nature be regarded as the teacher and we poor human beings as her pupils, the human race presents a very curious picture. We all sit together at a lecture and possess the necessary principles for understanding it, yet we always pay more attention to the chatter of our fellow students than to the lecturer's discourse. Or, if our neighbor copies something down, we sneak it from him, stealing what he himself may have heard imperfectly, and add it to our own errors of spelling and opinion.” IfsHumansMayTogetherUnderstandingHuman BeingsPoorPayRaceAttentionOpinionPrinciplesTeacherHeardStudentsFellowsAddErrorsNeighborStealingCuriousHuman RaceCopiesDiscourseLecturesPupilsSneakSpellingLecturerChatter Author:Georg C.
