The secret is the answer to all that has been, all that is, and all that will ever be.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWe are shut up in school and college recitation rooms for ten to fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing. We cannot use our hands, or our legs, or our eyes, or our arms. We do not know an edible root in the woods. We cannot tell our course by the stars, nor the hour of day by the sun. It is well if we can swim and skate. We are afraid of a horse or a cow, of a dog, of a cat, of a spider. Far better was the Roman rule to teach a boy nothing that he could not learn standing.
Ralph Waldo EmersonShall I tell you the secret of the true scholar? It is this: every man I meet is my master in some point, and in that I learn of him.
