Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. a creative genius cannot be trained. there are no schools for creativeness. a genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. a genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.

Society Cannot Contribute Anything To The Breeding

Ludwig Von Mises
Society cannot contribute anything to the breeding and growing of ingenious men. a creative genius cannot be trained. there are no schools for creativeness. a genius is precisely a man who defies all schools and rules, who deviates from the traditional roads of routine and opens up new paths through land inaccessible before. a genius is always a teacher, never a pupil; he is always self-made.

More From Ludwig Von Mises

We cannot study creativeness in an ultimate sense until we realize that practically all the definitions that we have been using of creativeness are essentially male or masculine definitions of male or masculine products. we've left out of consideration almost entirely the creativeness of women.

The most valuable thing a teacher can impart to children is not knowledge and understanding per se but a longing for knowledge and understanding, and an appreciation for intellectual values, whether they be artistic, scientific, or moral. it is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. most teachers waste their time by asking questions that are intended to discover what a pupil does not know, whereas the true art of questioning is to discover what the pupil does know or is capable of knowing.

"it's land ain't it? well tax it then."

Thinking Self Long
It is human self-renunciation when a man denies himself and the world opens up to him. but it is christian self-renunciation when he denies himself and, because the world precisely for this shuts itself up to him, he must as one thrust out by the world seek god's confidence. the double-danger lies precisely in meeting opposition there where he had expected to find support, and he has to turn about twice; whereas the merely human self-resignation turns once.
