Education is the transmission of civilization.

Out of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. No one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime to such fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the customs or institutions of his society, for those are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty, and dies with chaos.

The family is the nucleus of civilization.

Education is all a matter of building bridges.
