All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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 learned man has always riches in himself.
Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.
Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.
Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree; the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.
All those men have their price.
Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.
The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.
The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience.
No man who worships education has got the best out of education... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete.
