If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

Knowledge is power only if man knows what facts not to bother with.

I would rather excel in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and possessions.

I had therefore to remove knowledge, in order to make room for belief.
