"Learning never exhausts the mind."
"Mistakes are great, the more I make the smarter I get."
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."
"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."
"I had six honest men. They taught me all I knew. Their names were: Where, What, When, Why, How and Who."
"Teaching is only demonstrating that it is possible. Learning is making it possible for yourself."
"You don't understand anything until you learn it more than one way."
"Education is not preparation; education is life itself."
"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."
"It’s taken me all my life to learn what not to play."
"Much to learn, you still have."
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."
"I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma."
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."
"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."
"I am still learning."
"Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
"A man, though wise, should never be ashamed of learning more, and must unbend his mind."
"Commit yourself to lifelong learning. The most valuable asset you'll ever have is your mind and what you put into it."
"Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information."
"For the best return on your money, pour your purse into your head."
"Every time man makes a new experiment he always learns more. He cannot learn less."
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
"Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young."
"Wisdom comes not from age, but from education and learning."
"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere."
"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be ignited."
"Gold has a price, but learning is priceless."
"It is the art of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn."
"The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you."
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated."
"Education is the key to unlocking the world, a passport to freedom."
"Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is."
"Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can. There will always come a time when you will be grateful you did."
"You do not learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and falling over."
"Education's responsibility is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
"You cannot open a book without learning something."
"I was obliged to be industrious. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well."
"Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see."
"Science is organised knowledge. Wisdom is organised life."
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
"Light up the darkness."
"The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice."
"Education is the movement from darkness to light."
"All the world is my school and all humanity is my teacher."
"Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."
"We are born not to be perfect, but to learn and reflect from imperfections"
"Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased."
