Some thoughts on real education

I came across some good quotations having to do with education. These have to do with real education, not the politically correct junk offered by so many schools and colleges today. Enjoy.



Learning is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust . . . never fear . . . and never dream of regretting.

The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don’t.

The mind is not a vessel that needs filling but wood that needs igniting.

Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten.

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

Information cannot replace education.

Learning is not a spectator sport.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Nothing is more powerful and liberating than knowledge.

Education costs money, but so does ignorance.

The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder.
