True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life.
The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility.
In true education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a bit of table talk - they are all part of the curriculum.
