“Reverence for human personality is the beginning of wisdom, in every social question, but above all in education.”
“No man is fit to educate unless he feels each pupil an end in himself, with his own rights and his own personality, not merely a piece in a jigsaw puzzle, or a soldier in a regiment, or a citizen in a State. Reverence for human personality is the beginning of wisdom, in every social question but above all in education.”
“Wisdom begins with reverence for God."No God, no wisdom (witness your local university).”
“It is far better to give work that is above a person, than to educate the person to be above their work.”
“When does a novel begin? The question is almost as difficult to answer as the question, when does the human embryo become a person? ”
“Questions are more true than answers : this is the beginning of wisdom”
