William George Jordan Quotes

“There are two great things that education should do for the individual—It should train his senses, and teach him to think. Education, as we know it to-day, does not truly do either; it gives the individual only a vast accumulation of facts, unclassified, undigested, and seen in no true relations. Like seeds kept in a box, they may be retained, but they do not grow.”

“When man fails he says, ‘I am as God made me;’ but when he succeeds, he proudly proclaims himself a ‘self-made man'.”
