… you consider a man as educated if only he can pass some examinations and deliver good lectures.
The education which does not help the common mass of people to equip themselves for the struggle for life, which does not bring out strength of character, a spirit of philanthropy, and the courage of a lion -- is it worth the name?
Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs.
