الصفحة 9 - A thousand ages in thy sight are like an evening gone, short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all its sons away; they fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day.
الصفحة 10 - Oh, say! can you see, by the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?

الصفحة 46 - In a woman's college especially it is necessary to guard against excessive docility; to avoid ex cathedra pronouncements; to seek to rouse doubt, objection, resistance, that the student may become accustomed to do her own thinking and be trained rigorously to accuracy in that thinking. From the earliest stages of education, the effort should be made to call forth active curiosity as to the meaning and relation of every fact that is taught.
الصفحة 54 - KO\OV ; who makes things only in order to sell them ; who has forgotten that there is such a thing as truth, and measures the world by advertisement or by money ; who daily defiles the beauty that surrounds him and makes vulgar the tragedy ; whose innermost religion is the worship of the lie in his soul.
