"If education is to develop human nature..." - Quote by Immanuel Kant

“In the kingdom of ends everything has either a price or a dignity. Whatever has a price can be replaced by something else as its equivalent; on the other hand, whatever is above all price, and therefore admits of no equivalent, has a dignity. But that which constitutes the condition under which alone something can be an end in itself does not have mere relative worth, i.e., price, but an intrinsic worth, i.e., a dignity.”

“***Three Conditions of Happiness*** If you have work to do If you have someone you love If You have hope Then You are Happy now!”

“Beneficence is a duty; and he who frequently practices it, and sees his benevolent intentions realized comes, at length, really to love him to whom he has done good.”

“Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.”

“A man's real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life.”

“If I give a student one-fourth of what he should know, I expect him to get the other three-fourths himself, otherwise I do not want him as a student.”

“People get tired of everything, and of nothing sooner than of what they most like.”

“The observance of Thanksgiving Day-as a function-has become general of late years. The Thankfulness is not so general. This is natural. Two-thirds of the nation have always had hard luck and a hard time during the year, and this has a calming effect upon their enthusiasm.”

“Nothing has ever been more insupportable for a man and a human society than freedom. –The Grand Inquisitor”
