"If we work upon marble it will perish;
if on brass, time will efface it; if we rear temples, they will crumble into dust; but if we work upon immortal minds, {our children} and imbue them with principles, with the just fear of God and love of our fellow man, we will engrave on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity." Noah Webster (1758-1843), author of the first American dictionary |
