A child educated only at school is an uneducated child.- George Santayana, 1863 - 1952

To be a king and wear a crown is a thing more glorious to them that see it than it is pleasant to them that bear it.-Elizabeth I of England, 1533 - 1603

If I follow the inclination of my nature, it is this: beggar-woman and single, far rather than queen and married.- Elizabeth I of England, 1533 - 1603

There is no marvel in a woman learning to speak, but there would be in teaching her to hold her tongue.- Elizabeth I of England, 1533 - 1603

It often astonishes me that I did not see the importance of meditation upon Scripture earlier in my Christian life. As the outward man is not fit for work for any length of time unless he eats, so it is with the inner man. What is the food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God – not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water runs through a pipe. No, we must consider what we read, ponder over it, and apply it to our hearts.- George Muller,The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 139.

I believe that every particle of dust that dances in the sunbeam does not move an atom more or less than God wishes— that every particle of spray that dashes against the steamboat has its orbit, as well as the sun in the heavens— that the chaff from the hand of the winnower is steered as the stars in their courses. The creeping of an aphid over the rosebud is as much fixed as the march of the devastating pestilence— the fall of sere leaves from a poplar is as fully ordained as the tumbling of an avalanche.- C. H. Spurgeon

We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to His glory and our own advantage- John Newton

Schools have not necessarily much to do with education...they are mainly institutions of control, where basic habits must be inculcated in the young. Education is quite different and has little place in school. ~Winston Churchill

Men of authority and influence may promote good morals. Let them in their several stations encourage virtue . . . let them favor and take part in any plans which may be formed for the advancement of morality.- William Wilberforce

It is the endeavor of an evil man to quench a great deal of good for a little ill; but Christ cherishes a little grace though there be a great deal of corruption, which yet is as offensive to Him as smoke to us, therefore we should labor to gain all we can by love and meekness.- Richard Sibbes

"Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows!" John 16:33
"You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand!" Psalm 16:11
Cheer up, Christian! The sweetness of the crown which shall be enjoyed--will make amends for the bitterness of the cross which was endured. This world is all the hell that you shall ever have!
Here you have your bad things--your good things are yet to come!
Here you have your bitter things--but your sweet things are yet o come!
Here you have your prison--but your palace is yet to come!
Here you have your rags--your royal robes are yet to come
Here you have your sorrow--your joy is yet to come!
Here you have your hell--your heaven is yet to come!
After the cup of affliction--comes the cup of salvation!
Oh, sirs, under the greatest troubles--lie your greatest treasures!
The seed of sorrow on earth--shall reap a golden crop of joy in heaven!
Those who sow holiness in the seed-time of their lives--shall reap happiness in the harvest of eternity!
Oh! sirs, never think to have an end of your sorrow--until there is an end of your sin!
The apostle tells us, "Our light affliction, which is for a moment--works for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory!"
A grain of affliction--works a weight of glory!
A short moment of pain--works an eternity of pleasures!
Therefore saints, be of good cheer! Here is comfort for you--your best days are yet to come!-= William Dyer, "Christ's Famous Titles"

The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality.- Henry Louis Mencken, 1880 - 1956

The best education consists in immunizing people against systematic attempts at education.- Paul Karl Feyerabend, 1924 - 1994

Education rears disciples, imitators, and routinists, not pioneers of new ideas and creative geniuses. The schools are not nurseries of progress and improvement, but conservatories of tradition and unvarying modes of thought.- Ludwig von Mises, 1881 - 1973

Oh, sinner, do not wonder that it is so bad with you—but rather wonder that it is no worse!—Thomas Watson

It is only when we want to take our lives out of the Father’s hands and have them under our own control that we find ourselves gripped with anxiety. The secret of freedom from anxiety is freedom from ourselves & abandonment of our own plans. But that spirit emerges in our lives only when our minds are filled with the knowledge that our Father can be trusted implicitly to supply everything we need. - Sinclair Ferguson

Evangelism and social concern are like the two wings of a
bird. Without an intimate association of the two, the church
cannot hope to grow over the long term.-Thomas Houston, former president, World Vision International, in a private communication from World Vision

We all live in a televised goldfish bowl. Kingman Brewster, Jr, 1919 - 1988

While the spoken word can travel faster, you can't take it home in your hand. Only the written word can be absorbed wholly at the convenience of the reader. Kingman Brewster, Jr, 1919 - 1988

Perhaps the most fundamental value of a liberal education is that it makes life more interesting. It allows you to think things which do not occur to the less learned ... it makes it less likely that you will be bored with life. Kingman Brewster, Jr, 1919 - 1988

Incomprehensible jargon is the hallmark of a profession.- Kingman Brewster, Jr, 1919 - 1988
