The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
“So I will tell you something. Listen. Listen closely.
Of all that breathes and crawls across the earth,
Our mother earth breeds nothing feebler than a man.
So long as the gods grant him power, spring in his knees,
He thinks he will never suffer affliction down the years.
But then, when the happy gods bring on the long hard times,
Bear them he must, against his will, and steel his heart.
Our lives, our mood and mind as we pass across the earth,
Turn as the days turn…
As the father of men and gods makes each day dawn.” Amphinomus
