12.2.09

15 - 22 Feb 2009

This quotation is in a similar vein to last week’s - just in case you were confused by it:
“The great end of education is to discipline the mind;
to train it to the use of its own powers,
rather than fill it with the accumulation of others.”
Tyron Edwards (1809-1894, American theologian, best known for compiling a book of quotations).

All quotations simplify complex ideas, not least this one, so do respond with your own thoughts.

An interesting quotation.
Makes you question conformity.
