Our great mistake in education is ... the worship of book-learning-the confusion of instruction and education. We strain the memory instead of cultivating the mind. ... We ought to follow exactly the opposite course with children-to give them a wholesome variety of mental food, and endeavour to cultivate their tastes, rather than to fill their minds with dry facts.
John LubbockOur duty is to believe that for which we have sufficient evidence, and to suspend our judgment when we have not.
John LubbockDo not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged.
