[edit]- Education must enable young people to effect what they have recognized to be right, despite hardships, despite dangers, despite inner skepticism, despite boredom, and despite mockery from the world.
- There is more in you than you think
- We are all better than we know; if only we can be brought to relise this,we may never again be prepeared to settle for anything less.

[edit]I have been unsuccessful to find a source for this quote, can anyone help me with this? An eminent man challenged me to explain what sailing in a schooner could do for international education. In reply, I said we had at that moment the application before us for a future king of an Arab country to enter Gordonstoun. I happened to have at the school some Jews... If the Arab and one of these Jews were to go out sailing on our schooner, perhaps in a Northeasterly gale, and if they were become thoroughly seasick together, I would have done something for international education.
