People think of education as something they can finish.
Isaac Asimov
Education breeds confidence. Confidence breeds hope. Hope breeds peace.
Confucius
The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.
Lawrence Krauss
You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.
Brigham Young
Let us study things that are no more. It is necessary to understand them, if only to avoid them.
Victor Hugo
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.
Leonardo da Vinci
