एक समय था जब दर्शनशास्त्र को मानवीय गतिविधियों का विज्ञान कहा जा सकता था, क्योंकि यह अपने आप में बेहद व्यापक था। जो महत्वाकांक्षी यूनानी दार्शनिक प्रणाली से अपना नाम जोड़ना चाहता था, उसे ईश्वर, दुनिया और इंसान के बारे में जानी जाने वाली, की जाने वाली और कल्पित हर बात को अपनी योजना में शामिल करना होता था। समय के साथ और विज्ञान के विशेषीकृत होने पर, दर्शनशास्त्र का यह नज़रिया पीछे छूट गया और उसकी जगह आधुनिक युग की अधिक सटीक और संकीर्ण अवधारणा ने ले ली
There was a time when philosophy might have been defined as the science of human activity, so all-comprehensive was it. The ambitious Greek who would attach his name to a philosophical system must include in his scheme all that could be known, done, and speculated about God, the world, and man. In the course of time and the specialization of the sciences this view of philosophy fell away, and was replaced by the more exact and narrower conception of modern times

देकार्टेस की विश्लेषणात्मक ज्यामिति और न्यूटन व लेबनिज के कैलकुलस ने मिलकर एक अद्भुत गणितीय पद्धति को जन्म दिया है—जो लोबाचेفسकी, रीमैन, गॉस और सिल्वेस्टर के उन साहसी प्रयोगों से भी आगे की है, जिनका इतिहास में कोई और उदाहरण नहीं मिलता। वास्तव में, विज्ञान का यह अनिवार्य हथियार यानी गणित, अपनी शानदार उड़ानों के आगे इंद्रियों को भी मात देते हुए, आज शुद्ध तर्क की सर्वोच्चता को ऐसे साबित कर रहा है जैसा पहले कभी नहीं हुआ था
The analytical geometry of Descartes and the calculus of Newton and Leibniz have expanded into the marvelous mathematical method—more daring than anything that the history of philosophy records—of Lobachevsky and Riemann, Gauss and Sylvester. Indeed, mathematics, the indispensable tool of the sciences, defying the senses to follow its splendid flights, is demonstrating today, as it never has been demonstrated before, the supremacy of the pure reason

आज संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका को बौद्धिक और सेवा-भाव वाले कुलीन वर्ग (एलीट) की सख्त जरूरत है। चूँकि जनमानस में ऐसे वर्ग का कोई अस्तित्व नहीं है, इसलिए हम धन के लालच के आगे घुटने टेक रहे हैं। राजशाही की व्यवस्था और उसका दिखावा हमें केवल धन की अंधी पूजा से बचाता है। एक लोकतंत्र को भी खुद को बचाने के लिए ऐसे ही किसी कवच की जरूरत होती है, और बौद्धिक तथा सेवा-भाव वाले कुलीन वर्ग से बेहतर और प्रभावी विकल्प कोई दूसरा नहीं हो सकता
The United States is in sore need today of an aristocracy of intellect and service. Because such an aristocracy does not exist in the popular consciousness, we are bending the knee to the golden calf of money. The form of monarchy and its pomp offer a valuable foil to the worship of money for its own sake. A democracy must provide itself with a foil of its own and none is better or more effective than an aristocracy of intellect and service

"शिक्षा" शब्द की कई परिभाषाएँ दी गई हैं, लेकिन उन सबके पीछे मूल सोच यही रही है कि यह किसी मानव समाज के वयस्क सदस्यों द्वारा नई पीढ़ी के विकास को अपने जीवन के आदर्शों के अनुरूप ढालने का एक प्रयास है। यह सच है कि इस शब्द का इस्तेमाल कई बार इससे भी व्यापक अर्थों में किया गया है
Many definitions have been given of the word “education,” but underlying them all is the conception that it denotes an attempt on the part of the adult members of a human society to shape the development of the coming generation in accordance with its own ideals of life. It is true that the word has not infrequently been used in wider senses than this

दुनिया की सारी समस्याएँ चुटकियों में हल हो सकती हैं, बशर्ते लोग थोड़ी सी सोचने की हिम्मत जुटा सकें। असली दिक्कत यह है कि लोग सोचने से बचने के लिए हर तरह के हथकंडे अपनाते हैं, क्योंकि सोचना बेहद मेहनत का काम है
All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work
