“The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things”

“It is no little wisdom for you to keep yourself in silence and in good peace when evil words are spoken to you, and to turn your heart to God and not to be troubled with the judgment of others”

“I will give you a definition of a proud man: he is a man who has neither vanity nor wisdom, one filled with hatreds cannot be vain, neither can he be wise”

“To be a teacher in the right sense is to be a learner. I am not a teacher, only a fellow student”

“Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots”

“The wise only possess ideas, the great part of mankind are possessed by them”
