"I love learning, but hate being taught...." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“The facilities for advanced education must be evened out and multiplied. No one who can take advantage of a higher education should be denied this chance. You cannot conduct a modern community except with an adequate supply of persons upon whose education, whether humane, technical, or scientific, much time and money have been spent.”

“That long (Canadian) frontier from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, guarded only by neighbourly respect and honourable obligations, as an example to every country and a pattern for the future of the world.”

“My greatest good fortune in a life of brilliant experiences has been to find you, and to lead my life with you. I don't feel far away from you out here at all. I feel very near in my heart; and also I feel that the nearer I get to honour, the nearer I am to you.”

“Study the past if you want to define the future.”

“Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.”

“If nature is your teacher, your soul will awaken.”

“I think self-education is the greatest and best thing you could ever make.”

“In true democracy every man and woman is taught to think for himself or herself.”

“Children's reading and children's thinking are the rock-bottom base upon which this country will rise.”
