John Lancaster Spalding

John Lancaster Spalding
What we love to do we find time to do.
John Lancaster Spalding
The lover of education labors first of all to educate himself.
John Lancaster Spalding
As children must have the hooping cough, the college youth must pass through the stage of conceit in which he holds in slight esteem the wisdom of the best.

John Lancaster Spalding
