Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.

I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn.

It is unwise to make education too cheap. If everything is provided freely, there is a tendency to put no value on anything. Education must always have a certain price on it; even as the very process of learning itself must always require individual effort and initiative.

Just as food eaten without appetite is a tedious nourishment, so does study without zeal damage the memory by not assimilating what it absorbs.
