More From Salman Rushdie

I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. they don't teach you how to love somebody. they don't teach you how to be famous. they don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. they don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. they don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. they don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. they don't teach you anything worth knowing.

You can't teach talent. you can't teach inspiration. you can teach people critical facilities. you can give them techniques. you can teach discipline. and you can teach them about the business.
Teaching Inspiration Discipline
Human beings are very unbalanced and prone to go off on tangents. in every area of life- with too great emphasis on one thing, leaving out another important thing altogether. none of us will ever be perfectly balanced in our spiritual lives, our intellectual lives, our emotional lives, our family lives, in relationships with other human beings, or in our business lives. but we are challenged to try, with the help of god. we are meant to live in the scriptures.
Spiritual Emotional Leaving
The spirit only can teach. not any profane man, not any sensual, not any liar, not any slave can teach, but only he can give, whohas; he only can create, who is. the man on whom the soul descends, through whom the soul speaks, alone can teach. courage, piety, love, wisdom, can teach; and every man can open his door to these angels, and they shall bring him the gift of tongues. but the man who aims to speak as books enable, as synods use, as the fashion guides, and as interest commands, babbles. let him hush.
Education Fashion Liars
The men upon whose shoulders rested the initial responsibility of christianizing the world came to jesus with one supreme request. they did not say, 'lord, teach us to preach'; lord, teach us to do miracles,' or 'lord, teach us to be wise'...but they said, 'lord, teach us to pray.'
Wise Jesus Responsibility
It's never too early to teach your children about the tool of money. teach them how to work for it and they learn pride and self-respect. teach them how to save it and they learn security and self-worth. teach them how to be generous with it and they learn love.

Similar Quotes
We think the purpose of a child is to grow up because it does grow up. but its purpose is to play, to enjoy itself, to be a child. if we merely look to the end of the process, the purpose of life is death

Feel the dignity of a child. do not feel superior to him, for you are not.

Now i am nothing but a veil; all my body is a veil beneath which a child sleeps.
Children Pregnancy Sleep
I've always been quite mature because of the way my parents brought me up. they were very good at talking to me like a person rather than a baby, and i was around so many actors and directors from such a young age because my dad is an actor. i was more comfortable with adults rather than actually being an adult child.
