Our Society Is Changing So Rapidly That

I Believe That Each Young Person Is Different From Any Other Who Has Ever Lived, As Different As His Fingerprints: That He Could Bring To The World A Wonderful And Special Way Of Solving Unsolved Problems, That In His Special Way, He Can Be Great.

There Is No Such Thing As Group Originality, Group Creativity Or Group Perspicacity.

A Premature Attempt To Explain Something That Thrills You Will Destroy Your Perceptivity Rather Than Increase It, Because Your Tendency Will Be To Explain Away Rather Than Seek Out.

All You Have Learned From History Is Old Ways Of Making Mistakes. There Is Nothing That History Can Tell You About What We Must Do Tomorrow. Only What We Must Not Do.

I Say That Our System Of Tests And Grades, As It Now Exists, Is One Source Of The Low Yield Of Great Men From Our Universities. The Marking System Is A Traumatic Experience From Which Most Students Emerge With A Deep Determination Never To Get Into A Situation Where They Can Be Marked Again. They Just Won't Ever Again Take A Chance.
