We call Japanese soldiers fanatics when they die rather than surrender, whereas American soldiers who do the same thing are called heroes.

Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible.

When we listen to the radio, look at television and read the newspapers we wonder whether universal education has been the great boon that its supporters have always claimed it would be.

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think.

The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.

The policy of repression of ideas cannot work and never has worked.

Anybody who feels at ease in the world today is a fool.
