The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.

The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values.

True faith is belief in the reality of absolute values.

The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.

We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation -rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.

Why covet a knowledge of new facts? Day and night, house and garden, a few books, a few actions, serve us as well as would all trades and all spectacles. We are far from having exhausted the significance of the few symbols we use. We can come to use them yet with a terrible simplicity.
