What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul.

What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn.

To teach is to learn twice over.

Knowledge itself is power.

The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it.

Some men never recover from education.

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

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

The only function of a school is to make self-education easier.

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

That obtained in youth may endure like characters engraved in stones.

Our whole life is but one great school; from the cradle to the grave we are all learners; nor will our education be finished until we die.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
