Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. – Henry Adams
No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself. – Henry Adams
Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels. – Henry Adams
Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty–how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. – Henry Ward Beecher
