I believe a knowledge of the Bible without a college course is more valuable than a college course without a Bible.
William Lyon Phelps
The greatest of all the arts is the art of living together!
William Lyon Phelps
The belief that youth is the happiest time of life is founded on fallacy. The happiest person is the person who thinks the most interesting thoughts, and we grow happier as we grow older.
William Lyon Phelps
The kind of happiness that stays with you is the happiness that springs from inward thoughts and emotions.
William Lyon Phelps
Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness. It is the finest insurance against old age, against the growth of physical disability, of the lack and loss of animal delights.
William Lyon Phelps

Herein lies the real value of education. Advanced education may or may not make men and women more efficient but it enriches personality, increases the wealth of the mind, and hence brings happiness.

In a start-up company, you basically throw out all assumptions every three weeks.
William Lyon Phelps
The teacher should make a concerted effort never to lose his temper in the presence of the class. If a man, he may take refuge in profane soliloquies. If a woman, she may follow the example of one sweet-faced tranquil girl who went out in the yard and gnawed a post.
William Lyon Phelps
The happiest people in this world are those who have the most interesting thoughts.
William Lyon Phelps
Honesty is not necessarily the best policy. The best policy would be to acquire a reputation for honesty and then to cheat at the psychological moment.
William Lyon Phelps
How essential it is in youth to acquire some intellectual or artistic tastes, in order to furnish the mind, to be able to live inside a mind with attractive and interesting pictures on the walls.
William Lyon Phelps
Two persons who love each other are in a place more holy than the interior of a church.
William Lyon Phelps
I divide all readers into two classes: those who read to remember and those who read to forget.
William Lyon Phelps
Unlimited power is worse for the average person than unlimited alcohol and the resulting intoxication is more damaging for others. Very few have not deteriorated when given absolute dominion. It is worse for the governor than for the governed.
William Lyon Phelps
The highest happiness on earth is marriage. Every man who is happily married is a successful man even if he has failed in everything else.
William Lyon Phelps
One appreciates that daily life is really good when one wakes from a horrible dream, or when one takes the first outing after a sickness. Why not realize it now?
William Lyon Phelps
At a certain age some people's minds close up they live on their intellectual fat.
