“There is no such thing as education. The thing is merely a loose phrase for the passing on to others of whatever truth or virtue we happen to have ourselves. It is typical of our time that the more doubtful we are about the value of philosophy, the more certain we are about the value of education. That is to say, the more doubtful we are about whether we have any truth, the more certain we are (apparently) that we can teach it to our children.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“If history records good things of good men, the thoughtful hearer is encouraged to imitate what is good: or if it records evil of wicked men, the devout, religious listener or reader is encouraged to avoid all that is sinful and perverse and to follow what he knows to be good and pleasing to God.”
― Bede, Ecclesiastical History of the English People

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“It has ever been my delight to learn or to teach or to write.”
― Bede the Venerable
