    Stephen R. Covey (2015). “The Stephen R. Covey Interactive Reader - 4 Books in 1: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, First Things First, and the Best of the Most Renowned Leadership Teacher of our Time”, p.24, Mango Media Inc.

  • So you see that the process of education, taken in a large way, may be described as nothing but the process of acquiring ideas or conceptions, the best educated mind being the mind which has the largest stock of them, ready to meet the largest possible variety of the emergencies of life.

    Taken   Mean   Ideas  
    William James (2008). “Talks to Teachers on Psychology: And to Students on Some of Life's Ideals”, p.115, Nuvision Pubns

    Johnson, Lyndon B. (1967). “Public Papers of the Presidents of the United States: Lyndon B. Johnson, 1966”, p.772, Best Books on

That might be too upsetting. Just discard the sordid part. Consider us pure symbol. We're no more real than money.

    Girl   Pain   Real  
  • Education doesn’t make you happy. Nor does freedom. We don’t become happy just because we’re free – if we are. Or because we’ve been educated – if we have. But because education may be the means by which we realize we are happy. It opens our eyes, our ears, tells us where delights are lurking, convinces us that there is only one freedom of any importance whatsoever, that of the mind, and gives us the assurance – the confidence – to walk the path our mind, our educated mind, offers.

    Mean   Eye   Convince Us
