“The ideal of an “all-round” education is out of date; it has been destroyed by the progress of knowledge.”

“All a child's life depends on the ideal it has of its parents. Destroy that and everything goes - morals, behavior, everything. Absolute trust in someone else is the essence of education.”

“These various remedies, eugenic, educational, ethical, populist and socialist, all assume that either the voters are inherently competent to direct the course of affairs or that they are making progress towards such an ideal. I think [democracy] is a false ideal.”

“The aim of totalitarian education has never been to instill convictions but to destroy the capacity to form any.”

“Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family”

“Instead of proclaiming the ideals, they educe what experience teaches, what the experience of all the centuries has taught, that the millions get no further than mediocrity.”
