Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

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

Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education.

When you know better you do better.

It is better to know how to learn than to know.

To every action there is always an equal and opposite or contrary, reaction

Seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave.

Books! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.

No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.

The task of a writer is not to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly.

Imagination is the source of every form of human achievement. And it's the one thing that I believe we are systematically jeopardizing in the way we educate our children and ourselves.

To read is to fly: it is to soar to a point of vantage which gives a view over wide terrains of history, human variety, ideas, shared experience and the fruits of many inquiries.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool.

Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.

All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of Experience, the mother of all Knowledge.

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand.

Investigate, educate and organize.

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

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

Better know nothing than half-know many things.
