On Education

Men of education are apt, even when converted, to look upon the simplicities of the cross of Christ with an eye too little reverent and loving. They are snared in the old net in which the Grecians were taken, and have a hankering to mix philosophy and revelation. ME539

The best education is education in the best things. TD78:4

“Do not think Christians are made by education; they are made by creation.” (660.640)

“It is a sad thing that it should be so; but mental force without moral principle has become an engine of destruction, an instrument of mischief. Of all kinds of villains the educated villain is the most to be dreaded.” (1805.567)
