The great end of education is, to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulations of others.

In today’s wordsThe great goal of education is to discipline the mind rather than stock it: to train it to use its own powers rather than fill it with what others have accumulated.
