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

A learned man has always riches in himself.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

Education is a work of self-organization by which man adapts himself to the conditions of life.

A man's pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.

The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers.

To teach one's self is to be forced to learn twice.

Well, in order to become a grown man, in order to become significant in my family and significant in my children's life, I had to learn my lessons.

Man has demonstrated that he is master of everything except his own nature.

My father was a man who didn't consider himself learned. He was a man who liked to be a farmer. He enjoyed his dairy farm and felt the calling. So there was a dedication. I was dedicated as a child to the service of God, and so there was this continual centering of a greater purpose than your own.
