"Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education." ― William Godwin Topic(s): Education More From William Godwin "As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking." "The cause of justice is the cause of humanity. Its advocates should overflow with universal good will. We should love this cause, for it conduces to the general happiness of mankind." "Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind." More In Education "The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values."― William Ralph Inge "Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system as its fundamental key to success."― Alan Autry "Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding."― Ezra Pound
