Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life. A child is given to the universe to be educated.
— Rev. Frederick William Robertson

Poetry creates life; Science dissects death.
— Rev. Frederick William Robertson
Lectures and Addresses on Literary and Social Topics (1859), 123. In James Wood, Dictionary of Quotations from Ancient and Modern, English and Foreign Sources (1893), 382:26 .
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
