Indeed one of the ultimate advantages of an education is simply coming to the end of it.

Let men be happy, informed, skillful, well behaved, and productive.

It has always been the task of formal education to set up behavior which would prove useful or enjoyable later in a student's life.

The simulated approval and affection with which parents and teachers are often urged to solve behavior problems are counterfeit. So are flattery, backslap-ping, and many other ways of "winning friends.

The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount.

Better contraceptives will control population only if people will use them. A nuclear holocaust can be prevented only if the conditions under which nations make war can be changed. The environment will continue to deteriorate until pollution practices are abandoned. We need to make vast changes in human behavior.

The simplest and most satisfactory view is that thought is simply behavior - verbal or nonverbal, covert or overt. It is not some mysterious process responsible for behavior but the very behavior itself in all the complexity of its controlling relations.
