General Quotes

“There is an incident which occurred at the examination during my first year at the high school and which is worth recording. Mr. Giles, the Educational Inspector, had come on a visit of inspection. He had set us five words to write as a spelling exercise. One of the words was 'kettle'. I had mis-spelt it. The teacher tried to prompt me with the point of his boot, but I would not be prompted. It was beyond me to see that he wanted me to copy the spelling from my neighbour's slate, for I had thought that the teacher was there to supervise us against copying. The result was that all the boys, except myself, were found to have spelt every word correctly. Only I had been stupid. The teacher tried later to bring this stupidity home to me, but without effect. I never could learn the art of 'copying'. ”
Mahatma Gandhi

“Fearlessness is the first requisite of spirituality. Cowards can never be moral.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“One of the reasons why it needs no special education to be a Christian is that Christianity is an education itself.”
C.S. Lewis

“Опыт показывает, что к хорошо образованным людям часто относятся как раз те, кто вынужден был заниматься самообразованием и самовоспитанием. Никакое учебное заведение не сделает из Вас образованного человека. Образованным можно считать только того, кто получает от жизни все, что он хотел бы получить без насилия над другими людьми, на равных правах с ними. Образование подразумевает не столько знания, сколько умение их к чему-нибудь приложить. Ценятся не знания сами по себе, а то, как они могут быть употреблены.
Napoleon Hill

“The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.”
Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein

“I believe confidence is all about being positive concerning what you can do -- and not worrying over what you can't do. A confident person is open to learning, because she knows that her confidence allows her to walk through life's doorways, eager to discover what waits on the other side. She knows that every new unknown is a chance to learn more about herself and unleash her abilities.”
Joyce Meyer

“Our properties within our own territories [should not] be taxed or regulated by any power on earth but our own.”

Thomas Jefferson

“A person without a purpose is a human being merely breathing because he does not know where he is, let alone knowing where he is going. Purposelessness is lifelessness.”
Israelmore Ayivor
