Success is in the student, not in the university; greatness is in the individual, not in the library; power is in the man, not in his crutches. a great man will make opportunities, even out of the commonest and meanest situations. if a man is not superior to his education, is not larger than his crutches or his helps, if he is not greater than the means of his culture, which are but the sign-boards pointing the way to success, he will never reach greatness. not learning, not culture alone, not helps and opportunities, but personal power and sterling integrity, make a man great.

More From Orison Swett Marden

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

Most of our competitor nations around the world have a national education system and america is the only major nation in the world that operates off of local school boards. they receive very little direction from state boards of education or from the nation. so local school boards direct basically what happens and too often they're not willing to track or to do the supervision of the education system that will make it world competitive.

A sign, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity. it addresses somebody,that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a more developed sign. that sign which it creates i call the interpretant of the first sign. the sign stands for something, its object. it stands for that object, not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which i have sometimes called the ground of the representamen.
