Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere. Education beats the beauty and the youth.

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

I decided to teach because I think that any person who studies philosophy has to be involved actively.

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

All knowledge that the world has ever received comes from the mind; the infinite library of the universe is in our own mind.

One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.

Just when I thought there wasn't room enough for another thought in my head, I had this great idea.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.

Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

Dare to think for yourself.

If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.

It isn't what we don't know that gives us trouble, it's what we know that ain't so.

Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.

If you're not learning while you're earning, you're cheating yourself out of the better portion of your compensation.

The ability to observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence.

The deepest sin against the human mind is to believe things without evidence.

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.
