Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself. – Louis L’Amour
No memory is ever alone its at the end of a trail of memories, a dozen trails that each have their own associations. – Louis LAmour
Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value. – Louis LAmour
Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before – it takes something from him. – Louis LAmour

I confess to having yielded to these pressures. – Chris Van Allsburg
