Tryon Edwards Mind Quotations

High aims form high characters, and great objects bring out great minds.

The secret of a good memory is attention, and attention to a subject depends upon our interest in it. We rarely forget that which has made a deep impression on our minds.

Ridicule may be the evidence of with or bitterness and may gratify a little mind, or an ungenerous temper, but it is no test of reason or truth.

Indolence is the dry rot of even a good mind and a good character; the practical uselessness of both. It is the waste of what might be a happy and useful life.

There is nothing so elastic as the human mind. The more we are obliged to do, the more we are able to accomplish.
