Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
He who opens a school door, closes a prison.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
The highest result of education is tolerance.
Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.
The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers.
It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong.

In the days of Ram Mohan Roy when English education was introduced in this country, the Mahomedans did not accept it... They did not accept English education and at the same time they were divorced from the culture which their fathers had advanced. The result was that whereas the Hindus got on in life, got into government employment, got many things which people value in life, the Mahomedans were left without it and gradually there came to be a sort of estrangement between the two nationalities at the time of the Swadeshi movement.
