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

“For life, with all its yields of joy and woe, and hope and fear, believe the aged friend, is just a chance o' the prize of learning love”

“I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line”

“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do”

“Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know”

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