“We should teach our children nothing which they shall ever need to unlearn”
Felix Adler (1851–1933) German American professor of political and social ethics, rationalist, and lecturer
Section 9 : Ethical Outlook
Founding Address (1876), Life and Destiny (1913)
Context: We should teach our children nothing which they shall ever need to unlearn; we should strive to transmit to them the best possessions, the truest thought, the noblest sentiments of the age in which we live.
George MacDonald (1824–1905) Scottish journalist, novelist
From a letter to his father, quoted in George MacDonald and His Wife (1924) by Greville MacDonald
Context: I firmly believe people have hitherto been a great deal too much taken up about doctrine and far too little about practice. The word doctrine, as used in the Bible, means teaching of duty, not theory. I preached a sermon about this. We are far too anxious to be definite and to have finished, well-polished, sharp-edged systems — forgetting that the more perfect a theory about the infinite, the surer it is to be wrong, the more impossible it is to be right.
Ken Ham (1951) Australian young Earth creationist
