• Mary Kimball Morgan quote: “I find that progress is essential mentally before there can be any externalization of real progress. If I excavate and lay the foundation for a bungalow, I cannot use that foundation for a skyscraper. I must think of a “skyscraper” and adjust my thoughts to its size and demands.” - “Education at The Principia” by Mary Kimball Morgan, p. 92
