Never be disobedient; take a coach, take a mentor and be instructed!
Instruction does not prevent wasted time or mistakes; and mistakes themselves are often the best teachers of all.
A book has but one voice, but it does not instruct everyone alike.
The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.
Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated.
When you see a good horseman, you're unable to tell where the instruction is coming from. It's like telepathy.
The unassuming youth seeking instruction with humility gains good fortune.
God's revelation to Adam did not instruct Noah how to build the ark.
His love at once and dread instruct our thought; As man He suffer'd and as God He taught.
That the state of knowledge in any country will exert a directive influence on the general system of instruction adopted in it, is a principle too obvious to require investigation.

I felt like a disappointment. I believed I had let my family down. Clearly, I was a screw-up. I couldn’t do anything right. It seemed I hurt people without even trying. I didn’t know better, but obviously, that proved I was stupid. I was so blind...
I knew who I was now. I had figured out how to love myself. And more and more each day, I was learning to be myself in the world. Life felt completely different, like I was sipping the perfection of a made-to-order drink that was exactly what I had i...
Remember that you own what happened to you. If your childhood was less than ideal, you may have been raised thinking that if you told the truth about what really went on in your family, a long bony white finger would emerge from a cloud and point to ...
