“No one can teach, if by teaching we mean the transmission of knowledge, in any mechanical fashion, from one person to another. The most that can be done is that one person who is more knowledgeable than another can, by asking a series of questions, stimulate the other to think, and so cause him to learn for himself.”

“Many young persons believe themselves natural when they are only impolite and coarse.”

“It is unbecoming for young men to utter maxims.”

“I was made to feel I could do things. If you get this feeling early and can hold it until you're 15, you tend to never lose it.”
