The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.

No man who worships education has got the best out of education... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete.

Education is the period during which I was being instructed by somebody I did not know, about something I did not want to know.

That is the one eternal education: to be sure enough that something is true that you dare to tell it to a child.

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.
