We shouldn’t teach great books; we should teach a love of reading.  Knowing the contents of a few works of literature is a trivial achievement.  Being inclined to go on reading is a great achievement.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

B. F. (Burrhus Frederic) Skinner (1904-1990) was an American psychologist, behaviorist, and social philosopher.  He served as a professor at Harvard University from 1958-1974, and was a well-received writer.

William McKinley Quotes

War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed; peace is preferable to war in almost every contingency.

In the time of darkest defeat, victory may be nearest.

William McKinley (1843-1901) was the 25th President of the United States.

Only a mediocre person is always at his best.

W. (William) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a French-born English writer.  His writings published quite an impressive collection of short stories, novels, and plays.
