Quote #16 on Education Struggle Quotes >> School and Ignorance

“They who are alarmed lest virtue should so far demean herself as to be extremely good, have not yet wholly embraced her, but described only a slight arc of a few seconds about her; and from so small and ill-defined a curvature, you can calculate no center whatever; but their mean is no better than meanness, nor their medium than mediocrity.”
