A degree is not an education, and confusion on this point is perhaps the most serious weakness in the American educational thought.
Education is an admirable thing, but it is good to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Education: easy to drive people, but difficult to drive, easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
Do not stand on a high pedestal and take 5 cents in your hand and say, here, my poor man, but be grateful that the poor man is there, by making a gift to him you are able to help you. It is not the receiver that is blessed, but it is the giver. Be grateful that you are allowed to exercise your power of benevolence and mercy in the world, and thus become pure and perfect.
Education is an ornament in prosperity and refuge in adversity.
