I removed the quotes section:
"I have been asked what I mean by 'word of honor.' I will tell you. Place me behind prison walls--walls of stone ever so high, ever so thick, reaching ever so far into the ground--there is a possibility that in some way or another I may escape; but stand me on the floor and draw a chalk line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it. Can I get out of the circle? No. Never! I'd die first!"[1]
"The fear of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom. This life is one great object lesson to practice on the principles of immortality and eternal life. Man grows with his higher aims. Let naught that is unholy enter here" (written on a chalk board during his Nov. 9th, 1900 visit to Maeser Elementary School in Provo, Utah.)[2]
I feel they are better suited for a wikiquotes page. They aren't necessary in an encyclopedic entry like a wikipedia page. They also take up space in the article and I don't want it to get too long since more quotes could be added in the future. While they are good quotes and reflect Maeser's character and philosophies, they would be more appropriate in a separate page. Amgisseman(BYU) (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
