The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
Teach a child how to think, not what to think.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
