The Most Valuable Education

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly."

*-- Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)


"Whenever evil befalls us, we ought to ask ourselves, after the first suffering, how we can turn it into good. So shall we take occasion, from one bitter root, to raise perhaps many flowers."

*-- Leigh Hunt (1784 - 1859)


"The successful man is the average man, focused."

*-- Source Unknown
