Favorite Quotes

Is not the great defect of our education today... that although we often succeed in teaching our pupils "subjects," we fail lamentably on the whole in teaching them how to think: they learn everything, except the art of learning. - Dorothy Sayers

The entire object of true education is to make people not merely to do the right things, but to enjoy them; not merely industrious, but to love industry; not merely learned, but to love knowledge; not merely pure, but to love purity; not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. - John Ruskin

There is just one way to bring up a child in the way he should go, and that is to travel that way yourself. - Abraham Lincoln

Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts. - Albert Einstein
