“Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.”

“Most of the change we think we see in life is due to truths being in and out of favor.”

“Unless you are educated in metaphor, you are not safe to be let loose in the world.”

“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.”

“There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.”

“They would not find me changed from him they knew — Only more sure of all I thought was true.”

“Anything more than the truth would be too much.”
