The play was a great success, but audience was a dismal fail... - George Bernard Shaw

"Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent."

"What we want to see is the child in pursuit of the knowledge not the knowledge in pursuit of the child."

"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."

"I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake."

"We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience."
