Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Wise Quotes, School Quotes

I would have the studies elective. Scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge.

That the world is not the embodiment of an eternal rationality can be conclusively proved by the fact that the piece of the worldthat we know--I mean our human reason--is not so very rational. And if it is not eternally and completely wise and rational, then the rest of the world will not be either; here the conclusion a minori ad majus, a parte ad totum applies, and does so with decisive force.
