“A well educated man with an independent mind is a type of man liked by no government!”

“To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”

“Music is one of the most forceful instruments for governing the mind and spirit of man.”

“It is very nearly impossible to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.”

“We all take such pains to over-educate ourselves. In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place. The thoroughly well-informed man - that is the modern ideal. And the mind of the thoroughly well-informed man is a dreadful thing. It is like a bric-a-brac shop, all monsters and dust, with everything priced above its proper value.”

“You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.”
