It derives from the widely accepted premise of Western thought that the proper end of man is the realization of his character and potentialities as a human being.~ Thomas I. Emerson We must not believe the many, who say that only free people ought to be educated, but we should rather believe the philosophers who say that only the educated are free.~ Epictetus Only the educated are free.~ Epictetus Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.~ Euripides Sometimes people hold a core belief that is very strong.

It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.~ Benjamin Franklin The greatest and noblest pleasure which men can have in this world is to discover new truths; and the next is to shake off old prejudices.~ Frederick the Great The truth is always the strongest argument.~ Frederick the Great Two roads diverged in a wood, and I – I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.~ Robert Frost I know of no inquiry which the impulses of man suggests that is forbidden to the resolution of man to pursue.~ Margaret Fuller How often I found where I should be going only by setting out for somewhere else.~ R. Buckminster Fuller You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him to find it within himself.~ Galileo Galilei From my experience of hundreds of children, I know that they have perhaps a finer sense of honour than you or I have. The greatest lessons in life, if we would but stoop and humble ourselves, we would learn not from grown-up learned men, but from the so-called ignorant children.~ Mahatma Mohandas K.
