| When
a man who is honestly mistaken
hears the truth, he will either quit being
mistaken or cease to be honest. |
You
have to nip ignorance in the bud;
otherwise when it's full bloom you have
a full blown fool.
Steve Van Nattan | |
| "I am much
afraid that schools will prove to be great gates of hell,
unless they diligently
labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures,
engraving them in the hearts of youth.
I advise no one to place
his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount.
Every
institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with
the
Word of God must become corrupt." - Martin Luther |
The
man who never reads will never be read;
the man who never quotes will never
be quoted.
He who will not use the thoughts of other men's
brains, proves
that he has no brains of his own.
Charles Spurgeon |
| Stupidity is
not only socially acceptable now, it is a right. It is not only the fashionable
thing among the mentally destitute, it is their identity. One might think their
philosophy to be, "I am stupid, therefore
I am." Unfortunately,
we are too often forced to agree. | Knowledge,
a rude unprofitable mass,
the mere materials with which wisdom
builds,
till smoothed and squared and
fitted to its place, does but encumber
whom
it seems to enrich. Knowledge is
proud that he has learned so much;
wisdom
is humble that he knows no more. William
Cowper 1Cor.
8:1 ...Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. | | | Knowledge
is of two kinds: we
know a subject ourselves, or
we know where we can find
information upon it. Samuel Johnson |
The
object of home education
should not be the ability to say,
"I am
educated," nor that, "I am educated better than others." Rather,
it should be the ability to say frequently, throughout one's life, "I have
learned something today." And, blessed the one who often finds that "something"
through God's word or creation. | |
When
I was young I was sure of
everything; in a few years, having
been mistaken
a thousand times, I
was not half so sure of most things
as I was before;
at present, I am
hardly sure of anything but what
God has revealed to
me.
John Wesley

Beware
you be not swallowed up in books!
An ounce of love is worth a pound of knowledge.

It
is a masterpiece of the devil to make us believe that
children cannot understand
religion. Would Christ have
made a child the standard of faith if He had known
that
it was not capable of understanding His words?
D.L.
Moody
Luke 18:17 Verily
I say unto you, Whosoever shall
not receive the kingdom of God as a little
child shall in no wise enter therein. | |
I
don't think that so much
depends upon intellect as
is generally supposed;
but industry and steadiness of
purpose, they are the things.
Matthew Fontaine

| A
man may be so much of everything that he is nothing of anything.
