Additional quotes by Tryon Edwards

Deference is the instinctive respect which we pay to the great and good. The unconcious acknowledgement of the superiority or excellence of others.

People never improve unless they look to some standard or example higher and better than themselves.

This world is the land of the dying ; the next is the land of the living. - Tryon Edwards
