“Some know the value of education by having it. I know it's value by not having it.”

“Each drop of a tear is more costly than anything in the World….. But no one knows its value, Until they have it in their own eyes for some one ……………”

“In short, I should have liked to have had the lightest license of a child, and yet be man enough to know its value”

“It's very odd...that some values should have this peculiarity of shrinking. You never hear of values in a picture shrinking; but rents, stocks, real estate--all those values shrink abominably.”

“There is no such thing as educational value in the abstract. The notion that some subjects and methods and that acquaintance with certain facts and truths possess educational value in and of themselves is the reason why traditional education reduced the material of education so largely to a diet of predigested materials.”

“If values are woven into the very concept of education, where is the need for separate value education?”
