“I am the wisest man alive, for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing.”
“The object of education is to teach us to love what is beautiful.”
“The soul takes nothing with her to the next world but her education and her culture. At the beginning of the journey to the next world, one's education and culture can either provide the greatest assistance or else act as the greatest burden, to the person who has just died.”
“There is in every one of us, even those who seem to be most moderate, a type of desire that is terrible, wild, and lawless.”
“Nothing beautiful without struggle.”
“That's what education should be," I said, "the art of orientation. Educators should devise the simplest and most effective methods of turning minds around. It shouldn't be the art of implanting sight in the organ, but should proceed on the understanding that the organ already has the capacity, but is improperly aligned and isn't facing the right way.”
“Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.”
“He who is of a calm and happy nature will hardly feel the pressure of age. But to him who is of an opposite disposition, youth and age are equally a burden.”
"No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth."
"The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life."
"Justice means minding one's own business and not meddling with other men's concerns."
"Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil."
"The measure of a man is what he does with power."
