"Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased."

"You cannot open a book without learning something."
"Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it."
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated."
"It is the art of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."

"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."

"You do not learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and falling over."
"Science is organised knowledge. Wisdom is organised life."
"Wisdom comes not from age, but from education and learning."
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."
"You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way."
"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."
"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."
"Gold has a price, but learning is priceless."
"A man, though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind."
"Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom."
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
"Education's responsibility is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young."
"I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma."
"All the world is my school and all humanity is my teacher."
"For the best return on your money, pour your purse into your head."
"I am still learning."
"Education is not preparation; education is life itself."
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
"In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn."
"Much to learn, you still have."
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
