“It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think.”
“An educator will teach the students. An Educarer will reach the students.”
“The job of an educator is to teach students to see vitality in themselves”
“There is only one Education, and it has only one goal: the freedom of the mind. Anything that needs an adjective, be it civics education, or socialist education, or Christian education, or whatever-you-like education, is not education, and it has some different goal. The very existence of modified "educations" is testimony to the fact that their proponents cannot bring about what they want in a mind that is free. An "education" that cannot do its work in a free mind, and so must "teach" by homily and precept in the service of these feelings and attitudes and beliefs rather than those, is pure and unmistakable tyranny. ”
“Education is the sum of what students teach each other between lectures and seminars.”
“The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think”
