"Lawrence Kubie (64), in "The Forgotten Man in Education," some time ago made the point that one, ultimate goal of educa­ tion is to help the person become a human being, as fully human as he can possibly be." (43386948)

"I am very certain that many, many people have waked up in the middle of the night with a flash of inspiration about some novel they would like to write, or a play or a poem or whatever and that most of these inspirations never came to anything. Inspirations are a dime a dozen. The difference between the inspiration and the final product... is an awful lot of hard work, an awful lot of discipline, an awful lot of training, an awful lot of finger exercises and practices and rehearsals and throwing away first drafts and so on. Now the virtues which go with the secondary kind of creativeness, the creative­ness which results in the actual products, in the great paint­ings, the great novels, in the bridges, the new inventions, and so on. rest as heavily upon other virtues-stubbornness and patience and hard work and attentiveness of the personality."
