"I cannot teach anybody anything, I can only make them think." Socrates

"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." W. B. Yeats

"Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence." Abigail Adams

"Education makes people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." Henry Peter Broughan

"The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change."  Carl Rogers

"Education costs money, but then so does ignorance."  Sir Claus Moser

"True education is a kind of never ending story - a matter of continual beginnings, of habitual fresh starts, of persistent newness."  J.R.R.Tolkien

"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul." Joseph Addison

"I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me." St. Augustine

"The question is not, how much does the youth know when he has finished his education but how much does he care and about how many orders of things does he care? In fact, how large is the room in which he finds his feet set? and, therefore, how full is the life he has before him? …....In the end we shall find that only those ideas which have fed his life are taken into the being of the child........" Charlotte Mason

"For all our lives we are human beings, in an active state of learning, responding, understanding. Education extends to all of life. In fact, an educational system that says, one bright summer's day in the dawn of my youth, 'There. Now you are educated. This piece of paper says so,' is doing me a gross disfavor. The truly educated person has only had many doors of interest opened. He knows that life will not be long enough to follow everything through fully." Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
