No man who worships education has got the best out of education.... Without a gentle contempt for education no man's education is complete. ~G.K. Chesterton       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 whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ~Sydney J. Harris       An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. ~Author Unknown       Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. ~Edward Everett       My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects. ~Robert Maynard Hutchins       Education aims to give you a boost up the ladder of knowledge. Too often, it just gives you a cramp on one of its rungs. ~Martin H. Fischer       A child educated only at school is an uneducated child. ~George Santayana       Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. ~Aristotle       Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. ~G.K. Chesterton       Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. ~Robert Frost       The modern world belongs to the half-educated, a rather difficult class, because they do not realize how little they know. ~William R. Inge       It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ~Aristotle       Education is the movement from darkness to light. ~Allan Bloom       Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire. ~William Butler Yeats       Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. ~Roger Lewin        Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. ~John Dewey
