Quotations is about words, written and spoken throughout history. Words speak to us through our eyes and our ears. They enrich our lives, allow us to communicate thoughts to others, and sometimes, last for generations. This podcast explores not only the words, but the speaker, author, figure, or character who originated them. To whom were they said or written? What was their intended effect and on whom? What was the originator thinking? Find out each episode and we discover new quotations, some familiar, some not!

Edward Howard Griggs lectured and wrote from the turn of the 20th century until well into it, giving over 13,000 lectures to more than 8,000,000 listeners. He did this largely before the advent of the radio, TV, or internet. That works out to hundreds of lectures per year! Some became books, as did the lecture from which today's quote originates.
Griggs, like others of his day, advocated for education as a means to fulfilling and accomplished life. He captures that eloquently in today's quote.
