Desire! That's the one secret of every man's career. Not education. Not being born with hidden talents. Desire.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things.
One needs more than ambition and talent to make a success of anything, really. There must be love and a vocation.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.
Education is a work of self-organization by which man adapts himself to the conditions of life.
Education is the movement from darkness to light.
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
The true purpose of education is to teach a man to carry himself triumphant to the sunset.
I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.
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.
Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men.
