Books Quote by Anonymous
“The proper education of the young does not consist in stuffing their heads with a mass of words, sentences and ideas dragged together out of various authors, but in opening up their understanding of the outer world, so that a living stream may flow from their own minds, just as leaves, flowers and fruit spring from the bud on a tree”
