"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young."
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."

"Education is the movement from darkness to light."
"Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less."
"Mistakes are great, the more I make the smarter I get."
"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."
"Wisdom comes not from age, but from education and learning."
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."
"You cannot open a book without learning something."
"Science is organised knowledge. Wisdom is organised life."
"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see."
"You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way."
"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."
"You do not learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and falling over."
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
"In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn."
"All the world is my school and all humanity is my teacher."
