There are two educations

Some quotations from James Truslow Adams, (1878-1949) a Pulitzer Prize winning American historian who coined the term "American Dream"

There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other to live.

Seek out that particular mental attribute that makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, "This is the real me.' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.

The greatest use of life is to spend it on something that will outlast it.

The greatest discovery of my generation is that man can alter his life simply by altering his attitude of mind.

Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.
