On the contrary, if a man has by any chance an original idea, he hoards it as if it were old gold; and rather avoids the subject with which he is most conversant, from fear that you may appropriate his best thoughts.»
«If one studies too zealously, one easily loses his pants.»
«In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.»
«I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.

The marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.»
«If I were to think of and dwell on disastrous possibilities, I could do nothing. I throw myself headlong into my work, and come up again with my studies; if the storm within gets too loud, I take a glass too much to stun myself.»
