Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience.

If you're teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.

To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals.

Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world
