“Without perfect sympathy with the animals around them, no gentleman's education, no Christian education, could be of any possible use.”

“The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. They are all around us.”

“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”

“Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentlemen, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life.”

“Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.”

“One of the main goals of self-education is to eradicate that vanity in us without which we would never have been educated.”

“Anyone with a good classical education could learn Chinese by himself without difficulty.”

“Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”

“The ancient educational thinking also emphasized the importance of a certain atmosphere in which alone any worthwhile education is possible. First, there must be a complete rapport between the teacher and the taught. "May we study together. May God protect us both. May we never spite each other", that is the prayer of the teacher and the pupil with which several Upanishads open. There must be an atmosphere of serious inquiry, of hankering for truth for its own sake, of affection, deference, service and respect. Hindus believed that without this environment, no higher education is possible.”

“We do not trust educated people and rarely, alas, produce them, for we do not trust the independence of mind which alone makes a genuine education possible.”
