प्रतिदिन थोड़ा सा पढ़ने का दृढ़ संकल्प लें, भले ही वह केवल एक वाक्य हो। यदि आप दिन में पंद्रह मिनट भी बचा लेते हैं, तो साल के अंत तक इसका असर साफ दिखाई देगा।

Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.

एक बात को हमेशा अपने सामने रखें—सत्य; और यदि आप ऐसा करते हैं, भले ही यह आपको लोगों की राय से दूर ले जाता हुआ प्रतीत हो, यह निश्चित रूप से आपको ईश्वर के सिंहासन तक ले जाएगा।

Keep one thing in view forever- the truth; and if you do this, though it may seem to lead you away from the opinion of men, it will assuredly conduct you to the throne of God.

शिक्षक इसलिए पढ़ाते हैं क्योंकि वे परवाह करते हैं। युवाओं को पढ़ाना वही है जो वे सबसे अच्छा करते हैं। इसके लिए लंबे घंटों, धैर्य और देखभाल की आवश्यकता होती है।

Teachers teach because they care. Teaching young people is what they do best. It requires long hours, patience, and care.

एक बार जब कोई बच्चा स्कूल जाने की कानूनी उम्र तक पहुँच जाता है—चाहे वह किसी राजा का बच्चा हो या किसी गरीब किसान का—तो स्कूल न भेजने के केवल दो ही ठोस कारण हो सकते हैं: बीमारी और मृत्यु।

After a child has arrived at the legal age for attending school,-whether he be the child of noble or of peasant,-the only two absolute grounds of exemption from attendance are sickness and death.

ईश्वर की कृपा से, हमारे शिक्षा के साधन वह महान मशीनरी हैं जिसके द्वारा मानव स्वभाव के 'कच्चे माल' को आविष्कारकों और खोजकर्ताओं, कुशल कारीगरों और वैज्ञानिक किसानों, विद्वानों और न्यायविदों, परोपकारी संस्थानों के संस्थापकों, और नीतिशास्त्र तथा धर्मशास्त्र के महान व्याख्याताओं के रूप में गढ़ा जा सकता है।

Under the Providence of God, our means of education are the grand machinery by which the 'raw material' of human nature can be worked up into inventors and discoverers, into skilled artisans and scientific farmers, into scholars and jurists, into the founders of benevolent institutions, and the great expounders of ethical and theological science.

पुस्तकों के बिना घर, खिड़कियों के बिना एक कमरे की तरह है। यदि किसी के पास साधन हैं, तो उसे अपने बच्चों को पुस्तकों से घिरे बिना बड़ा करने का कोई अधिकार नहीं है। यह उनके साथ अन्याय है। वह उन्हें धोखा देता है! बच्चे पुस्तकों के बीच रहकर पढ़ना सीखते हैं। ज्ञान के प्रति प्रेम पढ़ने से ही आता है और उसी के साथ बढ़ता है।

A house without books is like a room without windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them. It is a wrong to his family. He cheats them! Children learn to read by being in the presence of books. The love of knowledge comes with reading and grows upon it.

तो, उस अनंत रूप से महान युद्ध में जो आप बुराई और अन्याय के खिलाफ लड़ रहे हैं, यदि कभी आपको पीछे धकेल दिया जाए या गिरा दिया जाए, तो चर्च या राज्य के किसी अत्याचार, समाज के किसी दुर्गुण या मूर्खता, या आपके द्वारा पराजित किए गए किसी झूठे विचार, क्रूरता या अपराध पर विजय के जयघोष से आपको हमेशा सांत्वना और प्रसन्नता मिले! और मैं आपसे विनती करता हूँ कि मेरे इन विदाई के शब्दों को अपने दिलों में बसा कर रखें: मानवता के लिए कोई जीत हासिल किए बिना मरने से शर्म महसूस करना।

So, in the infinitely nobler battle in which you are engaged against error and wrong, if ever repulsed or stricken down, may you always be solaced and cheered by the exulting cry of triumph over some abuse in Church or State, some vice or folly in society, some false opinion or cruelty or guilt which you have overcome! And I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity.

किले, शस्त्रागार, छावनियाँ, सेनाएँ, नौसेनाएँ सुरक्षा और रक्षा के ऐसे साधन हैं जिनका आविष्कार अर्ध-सभ्य समय में और सामंती या तानाशाही देशों में हुआ था; लेकिन स्कूल-भवन गणतंत्र की रक्षा की दीवारें हैं, और यदि उन्हें ढाह दिया जाए और जर्जर कर दिया जाए, तो अज्ञानता और बुराई अपनी सेनाओं को हर एक टूटी हुई दरार से अंदर ले आएंगे।

Forts, arsenals, garrisons, armies, navies, are means of security and defence, which were invented in half-civilized times and in feudal or despotic countries; but schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications, and if they are dismantled and dilapidated, ignorance and vice will pour in their legions through every breach.

बीते कल, सूर्योदय और सूर्यास्त के बीच, कहीं दो सुनहरे घंटे खो गए, और हर घंटे में साठ हीरे जैसे कीमती मिनट जड़े थे। उनकी कोई खोज-खबर नहीं दी जाएगी क्योंकि वे हमेशा के लिए जा चुके हैं।

Lost, yesterday, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minutes. No reward is offered for they are gone forever.

मनुष्य के भीतर एक जन्मजात धार्मिक भावना होती है जो उसकी अंतरात्मा में भगवान के होने की फुसफुसाहट करती है, ठीक वैसे ही जैसे समुद्र से उठाया गया कोई शंख उसके गर्भ में हमेशा महासागर की गर्जना को गूँजाता रहता है।

ईसाईयत के लिए बड़े-बड़े काम करने की तुलना में इसके नाम पर महान पुस्तकें बहुत अधिक बार लिखी जाती हैं। शहर के पुस्तकालय हमें ईसा मसीह के शासन की याद दिलाते हैं लेकिन शहर की गलियाँ हमें शैतान के राज का अहसास कराती हैं।

Great books are written for Christianity much oftener than great deeds are done for it. City libraries tell us of the reign of Jesus Christ but city streets tell us of the reign of Satan.

जो लोग मिसाल कायम करते हैं, वे एक नया रास्ता बनाते हैं। दूसरे लोग उस रास्ते पर चलते हैं क्योंकि अनजाने रास्तों पर भटकने से, बने-ब बनाए मार्ग पर चलना आसान होता है।

They who set an example make a highway. Others follow the example, because it is easier to travel on a highway than over untrodden grounds.

झूठा इंसान जितना दूसरों से छल करता है, उससे कहीं अधिक खुद अपने आप से छल करता है। वह दूसरों को भले ही ठग ले, लेकिन सबसे बड़ा नुकसान उसका अपना ही होता है। दुनिया की तिरछी नज़र को तो शायद वह कभी भूल जाए, लेकिन अपने ही विश्वासघात का बोध कभी नहीं मिटता।

The false man is more false to himself than to any one else. He may despoil others, but himself is the chief loser. The world's scorn he might sometimes forget, but the knowledge of his own perfidy is undying.

हमारे देश और हमारे समय में कोई भी व्यक्ति राजनेता कहलाने के लायक नहीं है, जो अपनी शासन-व्यवस्था की योजनाओं में आम जनता की सर्वोत्तम संभव शिक्षा को शामिल न करे। उसके पास वाग्मिता हो सकती है, उसे इतिहास, कूटनीति और न्यायशास्त्र का पूरा ज्ञान हो सकता है; और इनके बल पर वह अन्य देशों में एक ऊँचे राजनेता का दर्जा पा सकता है: लेकिन जब तक वह हर समय और हर जगह पूरी जनता के उत्थान और शिक्षा के लिए बोलता, योजनाएँ बनाता और प्रयास नहीं करता, तब तक वह एक अमेरिकी राजनेता नहीं है, और न ही कभी हो सकता है।

In our country and in our times no man is worthy the honored name of statesman who does not include the highest practicable education of the people in all his plans of administration. He may have eloquence, he may have a knowledge of all history, diplomacy, jurisprudence; and by these he might claim, in other countries, the elevated rank of a statesman: but unless he speaks, plans, labors, at all times and in all places, for the culture and edification of the whole people, he is not, he cannot be, an American statesman.

चूँकि हर पीढ़ी इस दुनिया में बिना किसी ज्ञान के जन्म लेती है, इसलिए उसका पहला कर्तव्य यह होता है कि वह पहले से जमा किए गए ज्ञान के भंडार को हासिल करे। किसी भी पीढ़ी को आगे निकलने से पहले अपनी पिछली पीढ़ी से आगे निकलना ही होगा।

As each generation comes into the world devoid of knowledge, its first duty is to obtain possession of the stores already amassed. It must overtake its predecessors before it can pass by them.

यह अच्छी बात है कि बुद्धिमान और विद्वान लोग नए सत्यों की खोज करें; लेकिन पहले से खोजे गए सत्यों को आम जनता तक पहुँचाना उससे कहीं अधिक बेहतर है! सच्चे ज्ञान में हर एक वृद्धि मानव शक्ति में वृद्धि है; और जब तक एक दार्शनिक एक नए सत्य की खोज करता है, तब तक लाखों लोग उस ज्ञान को जन-जन तक फैला सकते हैं। इसलिए, किसी चीज़ की खोज करने से ज़्यादा उसे जन-जन तक पहुँचाना हमारी सरकार का कर्तव्य है।

It is well, when the wise and the learned discover new truths; but how much better to diffuse the truths already discovered, amongst the multitude! Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power; and while a philosopher is discovering one new truth, millions may be propagated amongst the people. Diffusion, then, rather than discovery, is the duty of our government.

वे लोग खुशी की बातें बेकार में करते हैं जिन्होंने कभी किसी सिद्धांत के आगे झुककर अपनी किसी इच्छा को नहीं दबाया। जिसने कभी किसी भविष्य के लाभ के लिए वर्तमान के सुख का त्याग न किया हो, या किसी व्यक्तिगत लाभ को सामाजिक हित के लिए न छोड़ा हो, वह खुशी के बारे में ऐसे ही बात कर सकता है जैसे कोई अंधा रंग के बारे में बात करता है।

In vain do they talk of happiness who never subdued an impulse in obedience to a principle. He who never sacrificed a present to a future good, or a personal to a general one, can speak of happiness only as the blind speak of color.

हमारी इस दुनिया में बेकार इंसान दो पैरों वाला प्राणी कम और एक सीप जैसा जीव ज़्यादा होता है; और वह धन जो आलस को जन्म देता है, जिसका उदाहरण अंग्रेज़ी कुलीन वर्ग है और जिसके नमूने अब हमारे देश में भी प्रचुर मात्रा में मिलने लगे हैं, वह केवल एक प्रकार का इंसानी सीप-घर है जहाँ अमीरजादों और रईसज़ादों को इसलिए पाला जाता है कि वे कब्र के कीड़ों की दावत के लिए सुस्त ज़िंदगी बिताते हुए मोटे और रसीले हो सकें।

In such a world as ours the idle man is not so much a biped as a bivalve; and the wealth which breeds idleness, of which the English peerage is an example, and of which we are beginning to abound in specimens in this country, is only a sort of human oyster bed, where heirs and heiresses are planted, to spend a contemptible life of slothfulness in growing plump and succulent for the grave-worms' banquet.

सत्य चाहे कितने भी महत्वपूर्ण या शाश्वत क्यों न हों, किसी व्यक्ति के लिए तब तक कोई मायने नहीं रखते जब तक वह उन्हें समझ न ले, उनकी गहराई को महसूस न कर ले और उनकी सर्वोच्चता को स्वीकार न कर ले। वह उनकी महानता के आगे तब तक नहीं झुक सकता जब तक कि वह उनकी शक्ति को न देख ले। इसलिए सभी अंधों और अज्ञानियों—यानी सभी बच्चों—को इस हद तक शिक्षित किया जाना चाहिए कि वे सत्य को समझ सकें, उसे स्वीकार कर सकें और उसके आदेशों के अनुसार आचरण कर सकें।

Truths, no matter how momentous or enduring, are nothing to the individual until he appreciates them, and feels their force, and acknowledges their sovereignty. He cannot bow to their majesty until he sees their power. All the blind then, and all the ignorant--that is, all the children--must be educated up to the point of perceiving and admitting the truth, and acting according to its mandates.

चूँकि सारा सत्य ईश्वर की ओर से है, इसलिए यह लाजिमी है कि सच्चा विज्ञान और सच्चा धर्म कभी भी एक-दूसरे के विरोधी नहीं हो सकते।

As all truth is from God, it necessarily follows that true science and true religion can never be at variance.

किसी इंसान को गुलाम बना लो और तुम उसकी महत्त्वाकांक्षा, उसकी उद्यमशीलता और उसकी क्षमता को खत्म कर दोगे। इंसानी फितरत में, अपनी स्थिति को सुधारने की चाह ही हर प्रयास की मुख्य प्रेरणा होती है। गुलामी का पहला आघात इसी प्रेरणा को तोड़कर रख देता है।

Enslave a man and you destroy his ambition, his enterprise, his capacity. In the constitution of human nature, the desire of bettering one's condition is the mainspring of effort. The first touch of slavery snaps this spring.

एक अज्ञान व्यक्ति किसी भी बात पर तुरंत हाँ या ना कह सकता है। इसके विपरीत, एक समझदार व्यक्ति के सामने शायद ही कोई ऐसी बात रखी जाए जिसके जवाब में कुछ शर्तें, भेद और सही संतुलन न जोड़ना पड़े।

An ignorant man is always able to say yes or no immediately to any proposition. To a wise man, comparatively few things can be propounded which do not require a response with qualifications, with discriminations, with proportion.

यह धरती या तो हरी-भरी रहती है या फिर खरपतवार और कंटीली झाड़ियों से भर जाती है, यह इस बात पर निर्भर करता है कि हम उसकी देखभाल करते हैं या उसे छोड़ देते हैं। यही हाल इंसान की बौद्धिक व्यवस्था का भी होता है।

अज्ञानता की तुलना एक ऐसे तहखाने से की गई है जहाँ भरपूर जीवन होने के बावजूद अंधेरा और सन्नाटा छाया रहता है। लेकिन समाज में अब ताले और सलाखें टूट चुकी हैं; तहखाना ढह चुका है; कैदी बाहर आ चुके हैं; वे हमारे बीच मौजूद हैं। उन्हें शिक्षित करना और सुधारना ही हमारी एकमात्र सुरक्षा है।

प्रलोभन की सबसे खतरनाक विशेषता इसकी बढ़ती हुई ताकत और गति पकड़ने की रफ्तार है। इसका बार-बार दोहराया जाना इसकी शक्ति को बढ़ाता है और इसके खिलाफ खड़े होने की हमारी क्षमता को कम करता है। यह पानी के बहाव जैसा है—जहाँ एक बूँद जा सकती है, वहाँ पूरी नदी बह सकती है। जो कोई भी प्रलोभन के आगे झुकता है, वह गिरने के नियमों के अधीन हो जाता है।

The most formidable attribute of temptation is its increasing power, its accelerating ratio of velocity. Every act of repetition increases power, diminishes resistance.

हर हाथ और हर घंटे को दुनिया को उसके अपराध के उन्माद से बचाने, और बाम और एनाोडीन के साथ मानव दिलों की पीड़ा को शांत करने के लिए समर्पित किया जाना चाहिए। संकट पर दया करना तो मानवीय है; इसे दूर करना देवतुल्य है।

Every hand and every hour should be devoted to rescue the world from its insanity of guilt, and to assuage the pangs of human hearts with balm and anodyne. To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.

ठीक उसी अनुपात में जैसे कोई व्यक्ति अच्छा, दिव्य, मसीह जैसा बनता है, वह सिद्धांताइजेशन, सिस्टम-बिल्डिंग और किराए की सेवा के क्षेत्र से बाहर निकलकर परोपकारी गतिविधियों के क्षेत्र में प्रवेश करता है। अच्छा सोचना अच्छा है। अच्छा करना दिव्य है।

Just in proportion as a man becomes good, divine, Christ-like, he passes out of the region of theorizing, of system-building, and hireling service, into the region of beneficent activities. It is well to think well. It is divine to act well.

पुलपिट केवल ईमानदार होना "सिखाता" है; बाजार-स्थान अतिरेक और धोखाधड़ी के लिए "प्रशिक्षित" करता है; और सिखाने में प्रशिक्षण की दक्षता का दसवां हिस्सा भी नहीं है। मसीह ने कभी कोई पर्चा नहीं लिखा, लेकिन वह भलाई करते हुए घूमते रहे।

The pulpit only "teaches" to be honest; the market-place "trains" to overreaching and fraud; and teaching has not a tithe of the efficiency of training. Christ never wrote a tract, but He went about doing good.

कुछ भाषाएँ अपने आप में संगीतमय होती हैं, जिससे यह सुनना सुखद होता है कि कोई भी उनमें पढ़ता या बात करता है, भले ही हम एक भी शब्द न समझें जो हम सुनते हैं... अन्य भाषाएँ बड़बड़ाने, घुर्राने, फुफकारने वाली आवाज़ों से भरी होती हैं, मानो जंगली जानवरों और सांपों ने पहले लोगों को बोलना सिखाया हो।

Some languages are musical in themselves, so that it is pleasant to hear any one read or converse in them, even though we do not understand a word that we hear.... Others are full of growling, snarling, hissing sounds, as though wild beasts and serpents had first taught the people to speak.

सatchaiyon ke varg itne vividh hain aur har varg mein satchaiyan itni anaginat hain ki yeh poore vishwas ke sath kaha ja sakta hai ki ab tak aisa koi vyakti nahi hua jo satchaiyon ke sabhi vargho aur up-vargon ke naam bhi ginwa sake, un sabhi satchaiyon ki baat toh door hai jo kisi ek varg mein bhi aati hain.

Aur jab is chote se prithvi roopi gole par itni satchaiyan hain, toh is aparampar aur behad vishal brahmand mein toh iska kya hi kehna!

So multifarious are the different classes of truths, and so multitudinous the truths in each class, that it may be undoubtingly affirmed that no man has yet lived who could so much as name all the different classes and subdivisions of truths, and far less anyone who was acquainted with all the truths belonging to any one class. What wonderful extent, what amazing variety, what collective magnificence! And if such be the number of truths pertaining to this tiny ball of earth, how must it be in the incomprehensible immensity!

If ever there was a cause, if ever there can be a cause, worthy to be upheld by all of toil or sacrifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of Education. It has intrinsic and indestructible merits. It holds the welfare of mankind in its embrace, as the protecting arms of a mother hold her infant to her bosom. The very ignorance and selfishness which obstructs its path are the strongest arguments for its promotion, for it furnishes the only adequate means for their removal.

Resistance to improvement contradicts the noblest instincts of the race. It begets its opposite. The fanaticism of reform is only the raging of the accumulated waters caused by the obstructions which an ultra conservatism has thrown across the stream of progress; and revolution itself is but the sudden overwhelming and sweeping away of impediments that should have been seasonably removed.

Bina mazduri ke mehnat karwane ke din ab beet chuke hain. Bhagode gulam-kanun sirf us barbarata ki yaad dilaate hain jise John Wesley ne "sabse bade paapo ka sangrah" kaha tha, aur jiske vinashkari prabhavo ko unhone Georgia aur Carolinas ki apni yatrao ke dauran bahut kareeb se dekha tha.

To-day Massachusetts; and the whole of the American republic, from the border of Maine to the Pacific slopes, and from the Lakes to the Gulf, stand upon the immutable and everlasting principles of equal and exact justice.

Fugitive slave laws are only remembered as relics of that barbarism which John Wesley pronounced "the sum of all villainies," and whose knowledge of its blighting effects was matured by his travels in Georgia and the Carolinas.

Woh doosro ke sharir mein bas jati hai, aur unke astitva ko apna astitva man kar, unke dukhon ko mitaane aur sukhon ko badhane mein hi apni khushi dhoondhti hai.

The soul of the truly benevolent man does not seem to reside much in his own body. Its life, to a great extent, is a mere reflex of the lives of others. It migrates into their bodies, and identifying its existence with their existence, finds its own happiness in increasing and prolonging their pleasures, in extinguishing or solacing their pains.

Ek naye prayog ke roop mein... Free Schools ki sthapna, eesaayi yug ki shuruwat se ab tak ka sabse saahasi kadam tha... Samay ne iski majbooti par mohar laga di hai. Do sadiyan is baat ki gawah hain ki yeh jitna saahasi tha, utna hi buddhimani bhara tha; jitna swarth-rahit tha, utna hi kalyankari tha. Yeh un mahan mansik aur naitik prayogo mein se ek tha... Hamari kritagyta ki sachhai ki parakh is baat se hogi ki hum unke dwara sthapit ki gayi cheezo ko aage badhane aur behtar banane ke liye kitni koshish karte hain. Sirf zubaani shukriya ada karna ek apavitr bhent ki tarah hai.

As an innovation... the establishment of Free Schools was the boldest ever promulgated, since the commencement of the Christian era... Time has ratified its soundness. Two centuries proclaim it to be as wise as it was courageous, as beneficient as it was disinterested. It was one of those grand mental and moral experiments... The sincerity of our gratitude must be tested by our efforts to perpetuate and improve what they established. The gratitude of the lips only is an unholy offering.
