Quotations by:
    Martin, Everett Dean


The educator tries to tell people how to think; the propagandist what to think. The educator strives to develop individual responsibility; the propagandist, mass effects. … The educator fails unless he achieves an open mind; the propagandist, unless he achieves a closed mind.

Tolerance is a better guarantee of freedom than brotherly love; for a man may love his brother so much he feels himself thereby appointed his brother’s keeper.

More quotes by Martin, Everett Dean

Education is more than information, or skill, or propaganda. In each age education must take into account the conditions of that age. But the educated mind is not a mere creature of its own time. Education is emancipation from herd opinion, self-mastery, capacity for self-criticism, suspended judgment, and urbanity.
