“ What greater bliss than to look back on days spent in usefulness, in doing good to those around us. ”
The rose is the flower and handmaiden of love - the lily, her fair associate, is the emblem of beauty and purity.
~ Dorothea Dix
The duties of a teacher are neither few nor small, but they elevate the mind and give energy to the character.
To me, the avocation of a teacher has something elevating and exciting. While surrounded by the young, one may always be doing good.
I shall try and effect all that is before me to perform; and God, I think, will surely give me strength for His work so long as He directs my line of duty.
