| "The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things--the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit." ~ Samuel Johnson "The real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions." ~ Bishop Creighton "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource." ~ John F. Kennedy "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 "The secret of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." ~ Robert M. Hutchins "I have learned thoughout my life as a composer chiefly through my mistakes and pursuits of false assumptions, not by my exposure to founts of wisdom and knowledge." ~ Igor Stravinsky Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn-when they do, which isn't often-on their own, the hard way." ~ Robert Heinlein "Belief gets in the way of learning." ~ Robert Heinlein "We are students of words: we are shut up in schools and colleges and recitation-rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know an thing." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." ~ Albert Einstein "To educate a man in mind and not in morasl is to eduate a menace to society" ~ Theodore Roosevelt |
