Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

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

You can never learn less, you can only learn more.

Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything, and the value of nothing.

I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest men of past centuries.

It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

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

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.

Dare to think for yourself.

Better know nothing than half-know many things.

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

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

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.

Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

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