"The chance that you will become a master in something after the first attempt is neither here nor there. You don't get master's degree by attending school on the first day! Time will tell, so you got to persist!"
"And since we cannot deceive the whole human race all the time, it is most important thus to cut every generation off from all others; for where learning makes a free commerce between the ages there is always the danger that the characteristic errors of one may be corrected by the characteristic truths of another."
"He was a far more voracious reader than me, but he made it a rule never to touch a book by any author who had not been dead at least 30 years.

Instead of being like a circus where the trainer uses his stick to make animals do stunts to serve the interest of the audience, the system of education should be like an Orchestra where the conductor waves his stick to orchestrate the music already within the musicians' heart in the most beautiful manner. The teacher should be like the conductor in the orchestra, not the trainer in the circus."

Meanwhile, you, my boy, you will be focusing your efforts on the only thing that matters. The response which ensures you reach your destination."
"Think about it: if someone had found a way to manipulate human choice and free will " if someone actually had that kind of power " wouldn't it be a tad surprising if they then decided to share their secret with the masses in a book for $20? Not to mention how it would be just very slightly unethical."
"Success does not judge one man for being worthy above another. Success doesn't choose you because of your family name or existing wealth."
