Education Through Responsibility

By Newell Dwight Hillis

God educates men by casting them upon their own resources. Man learns to swim by being tossed into life's maelstrom and left to make his way ashore. No youth can learn to sail his life-craft in a lake sequestered and sheltered from all storms, where other vessels never come. Skill comes through sailing one's craft amid rocks and bars and opposing fleets, amid storms and whirls and countercurrents. Responsibility alone drives man to toil and brings out his best gifts. —Newell Dwight Hillis.
