I cannot live without books.

What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.

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

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

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

As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible but more mysterious.

Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life

You can never be overdressed or overeducated.

What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

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

To educate a person in the mind but not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

The first idea the child must acquire is that of the difference between good and evil.

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

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.

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

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
