Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today.

Make human nature your study wherever you reside—whatever the religion or the complexion, study their hearts.

To live for a time close to great minds is the best kind of education.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

The highest result of education is tolerance.
