The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience.

As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.

By reading, you learn through others' experiences, generally, a better way to do business, especially in our line of work where the consequences of incompetence are so final for young men.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.

The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

The true purpose of education is to teach a man to carry himself triumphant to the sunset.

We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.

A man ought to read just as inclination leads him, for what he reads as a task will do him little good.

Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools - intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it - this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life.
