If a horse or a donkey won’t go, men lose their tempers and beat it; if a machine won’t go, there is no use beating it. You have to think and try till you find what is wrong. That is real education.  (Gilbert Murray Quotes) It is doubtless one of Aristotle’s great services that he conceived so clearly the truth that literature is a thing that grows and has a history.  (Gilbert Murray Quotes) The life and liberty and property and happiness of the common man throughout the world are at the absolute mercy of a few persons whom he has never seen, involved in complicated quarrels that he has never heard of  (Gilbert Murray Quotes) Be careful in dealing with a man who cares nothing for comfort or promotion, but is simply determined to do what he believes to be right.

If a horse or a donkey won’t go, men lose their tempers and beat it; if a machine won’t go, there is no use beating it. You have to think and try till you find what is wrong. That is real education  (Gilbert Murray Quotes)
