"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."
"For the best return on your money, pour your purse into your head."

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

"Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself."
"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."
"Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less."
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
