"Better than one thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher"
              Japanese Proverb

"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes."

-MARCEL PROUST

The aim of education is the knowledge not of fact, but of values.

Dean William R. Inge

It is not so important to know everything as to appreciate what we learn.

Let the soldier be abroad if he will, he can do nothing in this age. There is another personage,--a personage less imposing in the eyes of some, perhaps insignificant. The schoolmaster is abroad, and I trust to him, armed with his primer, against the soldier, in full military array.
Lord Henry Peter Brougham (Brougham and vaux)

Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.

James Baldwin

Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.

Henry Steele Commager

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

Henry B. Adams

In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

Eric Hoffer

To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is educated.

Edith Hamilton

Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both.

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.

Bill Beattie

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Alvin Toffler

I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

-- Groucho Marx 

"In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists."

Eric Hoffer

"Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre."
-Gail Godwin

We cannot hold a torch to light another's path without brightening our own.

Ben Sweetland

It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is to be educated.

Edith Hamilton

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

Alvin Toffler

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car;

but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

-- Theodore Roosevelt
