“A man's mind, stretched by new ideas, may never return to its original dimensions.”
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
“The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn …and change.”
“The difference between school and life? In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.”
“Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.”
“What we learn with pleasure we never forget.”
“The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think — rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.”
“The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see.”
“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.”
“Tell me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and I'll understand.”
“I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.“
“Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”
Plato
