“Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child's nature.”

“This idea of all education springing from and resting upon our relation to Almighty God-we do not merely give a religious education because that would seem to imply the possibility of some other education, a secular education, for example. But we hold that all education is divine, that every good gift of knowledge and insight comes from above, that the Lord the Holy Spirit is the supreme educator of mankind, and that the culmination of all education (which may at the same time be reached by a little child) is that personal knowledge of and intimacy with God in which our being finds its fullest perfection.”

“Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.”

“A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.”

“There is no education but self-education.”

“Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep herding.”
