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

All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.

Indeed one of the ultimate advantages of an education is simply coming to the end of it.

The problem of education is twofold: first to know, and then to utter. Everyone who lives any semblance of an inner life thinks more nobly and profoundly than he speaks.

Education is only a ladder to gather fruit from the tree of knowledge, not the fruit itself.

If we work upon marble, it will perish. If we work upon brass, time will efface it. If we rear temples, they will crumble to dust. But if we work upon men's immortal minds, if we imbue them with high principles, with the just fear of God and love of their fellow men, we engrave on those tablets something which no time can efface, and which will brighten and brighten to all eternity.
