Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you

Nothing is more powerful and liberating than knowledge

t is not enough to have a good mind. The main thing is to use it well

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education

Education is too important to be left solely to educators

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled

The whole world opened to me when I learned to read

I never teach my pupils, I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn

Education would be much more effective if its purpose

What we learn with pleasure we never forget

What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself

The modern world belongs to the half-educated,

The difference between school and life?
