Omnipotence

Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” –Calvin Coolidge

“We all have to choose what ever subject matter allows us the most powerful and most secret release; and that is a personal affair.” –T. S. Eliot
We Receive Two Educations
“Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important, from himself.” –Edward Gibbon
It Comes In Waves
“We receive three educations, one from our parents, one from our schoolmasters, and one from the world. The third contradicts all that the first two teach us.” –Montesquieu
