Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom. The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change. It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
