You have no idea how many men are spoiled by what is called education. For the most part, colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed. If Shakespeare had graduated at Oxford, he might have been a quibbling attorney, or a hypocritical parson.

True education is the ultimate secret of a successful life.

True education will shape your life, but if you ignore education you will be punished by your life.

In school we learn to think alike, but true education is to learn how to think differently.

True education should enhance the power of the imagination.

True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility.

No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.

True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life.

True education is limited to those people who would die without knowing, whereas the masses in the institutions are merely going through the motions, for education is a way of living.

In true education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a bit of table talk - they are all part of the curriculum.
