He needs no library, for he has not done thinking; no church, for he is himself a prophet; no statute book, for he hath the Lawgiver; no money, for he is value itself; no road, for he is at home where he is.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means to an education.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best of things, well used; abused, the worst. What is the right use? What is the end which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Colleges… can only highly serve us, when they aim not to drill, but to create; when they gather from far every ray of various genius to their hospitable halls, and, by the concentrated fires, set the hearts of their youth on flame.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Books are the best type of the influence of the past… The theory of books is noble.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation -rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing.
Quote by -Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.”
Quote by -Oscar Wilde
“A fool may buy all the books in the world, and they will be in his library; but he will be able to read only those that he deserves to.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Books are infinite in number and time is short. The secret of knowledge is to take what is essential. Take that and try to live up to it.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.”
Quote by -Swami Vivekananda
“The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one.”
Quote by -William James
“The union of the mathematician with the poet, fervor with measure, passion with correctness, this surely is the ideal.”
Quote by -William James
“Experience is a keen teacher; and long before you had mastered your A B C, or knew where the "white sails" of the Chesapeake were bound, you began, I see, to gauge the wretchedness of the slave, not by his hunger and want, not by his lashes and toil, but by the cruel and blighting death which gathers over his soul.”
Quote by -Frederick Douglass
I am writing a book about the Crusades so dull that I can scarcely write it.
Quote by -Hilaire Belloc
Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.
Quote by -Hilaire Belloc
“The library is inhabited by spirits that come out of the pages at night.”
Quote by -Isabel Allende
Learning techniques without inward experiencing can only lead to superficiality.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I am constantly discovering, expanding, finding the cause of my ignorance, in martial art and especially in life. In short, to be real…
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Learning is important but do not become its slave. Above all, do not harbor anything external and superfluous, the mind is the primary.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win. But never to accept the way to lose. To accept defeat – to learn to die – is be liberated from it.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I never believe in large organizations, with their domestic and foreign branches, affiliations, etc.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
To reach the masses, some sort of a system is required; as a result, the members are conditioned according to that system.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
I believe in teaching just a few, as it requires constant alert observations on each individual in order to establish a true, direct relationship.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
A child must be taught early that money is only a means, a type of usefulness, an implement. Like all instruments, it has certain purposes, but it will not do everything. One must learn how to use it, what it will do, but above all what it will not do.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Look for ways to raise the pupil’s mind above duality, to the absolute awareness which transcends it.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
But then, how important is school? I barely made passing grades while attending the University of Washington.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Bear in mind that I seek neither your approval nor to influence you. So do not make up your mind as to “this is this” or “that is that”. I will be more than satisfied if you begin to learn to investigate everything yourself from now on.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
What we are after is the root and not the branches. The root is real knowledge; the branches are surface knowledge.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
Real knowledge breeds “body feel” and personal expression; surface knowledge breeds mechanical conditioning and imposing limitation and squelches creativity.
