Quote by Mark Twain

All schools, all colleges have two great functions to confer, and to conceal valuable knowledge. - Notebook, 1908

All schools, all colleges have two great functions to confer

Summary

This quote suggests that educational institutions, such as schools and colleges, serve two essential purposes. Firstly, they confer or pass on valuable knowledge to students, providing a structured and systematic learning environment for acquiring information and skills. Secondly, they can also conceal knowledge, potentially by controlling the access or distribution of certain information. This statement implies that education systems have the power to both empower individuals with knowledge and restrict or selectively share information as deemed appropriate by the institutions themselves.

I put on fifteen pounds of muscle, so that was a lot of eating chicken and a high protein, low-carb diet. Also a lot of heavy lifting and a very different kind of training with an ex-navy SEAL guy who wanted to kill me every time I got with him. In a good way.
