Faith in God is the source of peace in life: peace in life is the source of inward order; inward order is the source of unerring application of our powers, and this again is the source of the growth of those powers, and of their training in wisdom; wisdom is the spring of all human blessings.”  Pestalozzi

It should not be claimed that there is no art or science of training up to virtue. Remember how absurd it would be to believe that even the most trifling employment has its rules and methods, and at the same time, that the highest of all departments of human effort–virtue–can be mastered without instruction and practice! Cicero
