“I had the happy privilege of analyzing both Mr. Edison and Mr. Ford, year by year, over a long period of years, and therefore, the opportunity to study them at close range, so I speak from actual knowledge when I say that I found no quality save persistence, in either of them, that even remotely suggested the major source of their stupendous achievements.”

“Опыт показывает, что к хорошо образованным людям часто относятся как раз те, кто вынужден был заниматься самообразованием и самовоспитанием. Никакое учебное заведение не сделает из Вас образованного человека.

Образование подразумевает не столько знания, сколько умение их к чему-нибудь приложить. Ценятся не знания сами по себе, а то, как они могут быть употреблены.
