The right way will always produce a thing of use or of beauty, whose reaction on the mind of the producer cultivates his mind, or grows the human understanding; but this right way is only to be discovered in that pause between impulse and action which is the characteristic discrimination of man from all other animals, and must be secured for the child by the care of his educators-even when he is only playing, or the play will tire instead of exhilarate.
"Education in The Home, The Kindergarten, and The Primary School"
Elizabeth P. Peabody
Wit serves to amuse or exhilarate but rarely produces useful reflection or an improvement of mind.
"Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution"
L. Carroll Judson
