“It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense ”

“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it”

“A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated”

“All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind”

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions”

“The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely”
