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

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame.

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

Evil being the root of mystery, pain is the root of knowledge.

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

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

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

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

When I am attacked by gloomy thoughts, nothing helps me so much as running to my books. They quickly absorb me and banish the clouds from my mind.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.

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

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

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

My alma mater was books, a good library.... I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

The secret of life is not enjoyment but education through experience.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.

If you're teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.

Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.
