教育的目的，是替年輕人的終生自修作準備。

追求理想是一個人進行自我教育的最初的動力，而沒有自我教育就不能想像會有完美的精神生活。我認為，教會學生自己教育自己，這是一種最高級的技巧和藝術。

教育不能創造什麼，但它能啟發兒童創造力以從事于創造工作。教育不能創造什麼，但它能啟發兒童創造力以從事于創造工作

教育兒童通過周圍世界的美，人的關係的美而看到的精神的高尚、善良和誠實，並在此基礎上在自己身上確立美的品質。

教育技巧的全部訣竅就在於抓住兒童的這種上進心，這種道德上的自勉。要是兒童自己不求上進，不知自勉，任何教育者就都不能在他的身上培養出好的品質。可是只有在集體和教師首先看到兒童優點的那些地方，兒童才會產生上進心。

教育上的水是什麼就是情，就是愛。教育沒有了情愛，就成了無水的池，任你四方形也罷、圓形也罷，總逃不出一個空虛。班主任廣博的愛心就是流淌在班級之池中的水，時刻滋潤著學生的心田。

科學書籍讓人免於愚昧，而文藝作品則使人擺脫粗鄙;對真正的教育和對人們的幸福來說，二者同樣的有益和必要。

朋友是寶貴的，但敵人也可能是有用的;朋友會告訴我，我可以做什麼，敵人將教育我，我應當怎樣做。

榮譽感是一種優良的品質，因而只有那些稟性高尚積極向上或受過良好教育的人才具備。

作為一個父親，最大的樂趣就在於：在其有生之年，能夠根據自己走過的路來啟發教育子女。

自我教育需要有非常重要而強有力的促進因素——自尊心、自我尊重感、上進心。

教育的實質正是在於克服自己身上的動物本能和發展人所特有的全部本性。

教育者的個性、思想信念及其精神生活的財富，是一種能激發每個受教育者檢點自己、反省自己和控制自己的力量。

教育者的關注和愛護在學生的心靈上會留下不可磨滅的印象。

教育者應當深刻瞭解正在成長的人的心靈……只有在自己整個教育生涯中不斷地研究學生的心理，加深自己的心理學知識，才能夠成為教育工作的真正的能手。

教育中應該儘量鼓勵個人發展的過程。應該引導兒童自己進行探討，自己去推論。給他們講的應該儘量少些，而引導他們去發現的應該儘量多些。

沒有一種禮貌會在外表上叫人一眼就看出教養的不足，正確的教育在於使外表上的彬彬有禮和人的高尚的教養同時表現出來。

沒有自我教育就沒有真正的教育。這樣一個信念在我們的教師集體的創造性勞動中起著重大的作用。

年輕人把受教育求進步的責任和對恩人及支持者所負的義務聯結起來，是最適宜不過的事，我對我的雙親做到了這一點。

培養教育人和種花木一樣，首先要認識花木的特點，區別不同情況給以施肥、澆水和培養教育，這叫“因材施教”。

人類教育最基本的途徑是信念，只有信念才能影響信念。

我們教育工作者的任務就在於讓每個兒童看到人的心靈美，珍惜愛護這種美，並用自己的行動使這種美達到應有的高度。

Making duck calls is the hardest thing that we make, so there's skill involved, and they're all handmade.

Police and prosecutors and the courts have got to talk together.

This is what it felt like to have a broken heart. It felt less like a cracking down the middle and more like she had swallowed it whole and it sat bruised and bleeding in the pit of her stomach.

Stubbornness and ignorance and determination are a very fine line from each other. I'm a very stubborn person, but not so stubborn that I can't learn new things and meet new people, but I have a one-track mind.

Seek on earth what you have found in heaven.

Good grief, we're getting offended by everything these days! People can't say anything without offending somebody.

I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.

At that time I had complete confidence in Russian policy and I believed that the Western Allies deliberately allowed Russia and Germany to fight each other to the death.

I love playing in front of people. I feel powerful, 'cause I don't have to really say anything - I'm just singing.

I grew up watching sci-fi and Justice League and all those kinds of things.

A lot of times with novels, you can get a really deep, engaging story, but there's not a lot happening, frankly. Those books tend to be super-literary and dense, and they require a lot of commitment, and that's not necessarily a bad thing, but if you want fast-moving action and gore and plot and excitement, you can get shorted on that.

War is often about making the least-worst decision. The same could be said about politics. But the stakes are higher in war, when the commander-in-chief is called upon to defend the nation.

Children are the only form of immortality that we can be sure of.

Chaos was the law of nature Order was the dream of man.
