Commonplace Quotes:
Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things." (NKJV)
“There are four means of destroying the desire for knowledge:--(a) Too many oral lessons, which offer knowledge in a diluted form, and do not leave the child free to deal with it.(b) Lectures, for which the teacher collects, arranges, and illustrates matter from various sources; these often offer knowledge in too condensed and ready prepared a form.(c) Text-books compressed and recompressed from the big book of the big man.(d) The use of emulation and ambition as incentives to learning in place of the adequate desire for, and delight in, knowledge.” (School Education, pg. 214).
"Lessons must furnish ideas “In this way: give your child a single valuable idea and you have done more for his education than if you had laid upon his mind the burden of bushels of information; for the child who grows up with a few dominant ideas has his self-education provided for, his career marked out”. (Home Education, pg. 174).
“The question is not, -- how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education -- but how much does he care?” (School Education).
