Education — whether its object be children or adults, individuals or an entire people, or even oneself — consists in creating motives. To show what is beneficial, what is obligatory, what is good — that is the task of education. Education concerns itself with the motives for effective action. For no action is ever carried out in the absence of motives capable of supplying the indispensable amount of energy for its execution.
