It is as impossible to withhold education from the receptive mind, as it is impossible to force it upon the unreasoning. – Agnes Repplier
A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever, and generally stopping before it gets there. – Agnes Repplier
A kitten is the most irresistible comedian in the world. Its wide-open eyes gleam with wonder and mirth. It darts madly at nothing at all, and then, as though suddenly checked in the pursuit, prances sideways on its hind legs with ridiculous agility and zeal. – Agnes Repplier

Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty–how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. – Henry Ward Beecher
