“Anything that you learn becomes your wealth, a wealth that cannot be taken away from you; whether you learn it in a building called school or in the school of life. To learn something new is a timeless pleasure and a valuable treasure. And not all things that you learn are taught to you, but many things that you learn you realize you have taught yourself.”
C. JoyBell C.

Aristotle
“Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.”
Aristotle

Chris Hedges
“We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success”, defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.”
Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle

Noam Chomsky
“Do you train for passing tests or do you train for creative inquiry?”
Noam Chomsky

“Educate a boy, and you educate an individual. Educate a girl, and you educate a community.”
