Uncommon Commonsense: Passages by Elbert Hubbard

Life Lies in the Quest

We need the colleges, but not for segregation, nor for noisy yells and sophomoric pride in smug futility of Greek-letter societies, with their senseless, soulless mummery.

Why not a workshop instead?

The university of the future will supply certain conditions of growth and these will be free to all who care to work for them, and all who care to work for them will be free to do so.

If a man will not work, neither shall he eat.

If a man will not work, neither shall he be educated.

In future, our children shall go to school–not be sent nor sentenced. Nothing is of any value to you except what you work for. Things given you and thrust upon you are forever alien to you–separate and apart, and will be molted very shortly.

That which is worth having is worth working for.

Education is not an acquisition, it is an achievement. Like liberty you must earn it, or you’ll wander forever in the desert, a slave in spirit still.

—1904
