“…it is necessary to believe in God; that, therefore, the knowledge of God is the principal knowledge, and the chief end of education.”

                                                    *

“…and we shall find by-and-by that 'education' means nothing less than the evolution of the human being at all points; and that the acquisition of mere learning is not necessarily education at all.” 

                                                   *

“Children so taught (i.e. in this method) are delightful companions because they have large interests and worthy thoughts; they have much to talk about and such casual talk benefits society. The fine sense, like an atmosphere, of things worth knowing and worth living for, this it is which produces magnanimous citizens, and we feel that Milton was right in claiming magnanimity as the proper outcome of education.”

                                                   *

“…the purpose of this life is our education for a fuller.” 
 
                                                   *
 
“Laws of Nature and Ways of Man––Education, properly understood, is the science of life.”
 
 
 
Examen: Did I hold onto the end (goal) of education today?
