I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law,
or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile....
But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself
with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move.... Education thus conceived marks the most perfect
and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience.

But the ground of a man's culture lies in his nature, not in his calling. His powers are to be unfolded on account of

shoes, nail, or pins.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide;
that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion . . . It is the harder because you will always find those who
think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is
easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness
the independence of solitude.

If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our
present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and
for self-initiated learning.

education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
