A degree is not an education, and the confusion on this point is perhaps the gravest weakness in American thinking about education

Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art; it is the part the schools cannot recognize.

Man is born to live, not to prepare for life.

A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.

He who loves, flies, runs, and rejoices; he is free and nothing holds him back.

The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.

You can only hold a smile for so long, after that it's just teeth.

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
