Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.
Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
