"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."
"Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil."
"The human heart is not unchanging (nay, changes almost out of recognition in the twinkling of an eye)..."
"We meet no ordinary people in our lives."
"In those days a boy on the classical side officially did almost nothing but classics. I think this was wise; the greatest service we can to education today is to teach few subjects. No one has time to do more than a very few things well before he is twenty, and when we force a boy to be a mediocrity in a dozen subjects we destroy his standards, perhaps for life."
