We may outgrow the things of children, without acquiring sense and relish for those which become a man. - John Lancaster Spalding

A liberal education is that which aims to develop faculty without ulterior views of profession or other means of gaining a livelihood. It considers man an end in himself and not an instrument whereby something is to be wrought. Its ideal is human perfection.

The mind perceives … that it is higher than institutions, which are but the woof and web of its thought and will, which it weaves and outgrows, and weaves again.

If thou canst not hold the golden mean, say and do too little rather than too much.
