Education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

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

Nature without learning is blind, learning apart from nature is fractional, and practice in the absence of both is aimless.

It is only the ignorant who despise education.

Our society offers little in the way of reeducation for those who have been torn away from their traditional culture and suddenly exposed to all the blandishments of mass culture-even the churches which follow the hillbillies to the city often make use of the same "hard sell" that the advertisers and politicians do.

Education, properly understood, is that which teaches discernment.

Education is the leading human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them; and these two objects are always attainable together, and by the same means; the training which makes men happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others.

Education, which was at first made universal in order that all might be able to read and write, has been found capable of serving quite other purposes. By instilling nonsense it unifies populations and generates collective enthusiasm.

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
