Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another, his education is incomplete.
Positive rights are the right to shelter, the right to education, the right to health care, the right to a living wage. These things are - these are, I would call them, more properly, political rights rather than positive rights. And they are extremely tricky, because now we are dealing with things that are zero sum.

History is a race between education and catastrophe.
The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.
