Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness. It is the finest insurance against old age, against the growth of physical disability, against the lack and loss of animal delights. How essential it is, then, in youth to acquire some intellectual or artistic tastes, in order to furnish the mind, to be able to live inside a mind with attractive and interesting pictures on the walls.
William Lyon Phelps
One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute.
William Lyon Phelps
I find daily life not always joyous, but always interesting. I have some sad days and nights, but none that are dull. As I advance deeper into the vale of years, I live with constantly increasing gusto and excitement. I am sure it all means something in the last analysis, I am an optimist because I believe in God. Those who have no faith are quite naturally pessimists and I do not blame them.
William Lyon Phelps
Nature makes boys and girls lovely to look upon so they can be tolerated until they acquire some sense.
