Education

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.

What I cannot create, I do not understand.

Of all things, I liked books best.

In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other parts of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

Being open to your experience, your perspective, your vision of the world is really important. You can't learn anything unless you're prepared to admit that you don't already know it.

True teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

Reading is like thinking, like praying, like talking to a friend, like expressing your ideas, like listening to other people's ideas, like listening to music, like looking at the view, like taking a walk on the beach.

The Historians were gossips. They said over and over that all the educated were deep in debt.

It is not reiteration or book learning or argument that gives knowledge, but sight and examination and perception.

We need libraries, not mere collections of data.

There are indeed, few things that are likely to hamper the understanding job as much as the stiff application of a narrow logical structure.

The point of studying philosophy is not to find answers but to be able to formulate the questions.

A cultivated mind is, I suspect, always more alive than one that hasn't been cultivated.

The will needs no tutor to teach us to will, but all other things have need of it.

First learn the meaning of what you say, and then speak.

There is nothing in the intellect that was not first in the senses.

Let no one enter here who is ignorant of geometry.
