Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.

Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard.
