"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."
"You can never be overdressed or overeducated."
"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever."

"We are born not to be perfect, but to learn and reflect from imperfections"
"It is the art of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel."
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."

"The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding."
"Learning is an experience. Everything else is just information."
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop."
