Education is not filling a bucket but lighting a fire
-William Butler Yeats

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain (1835 - 1910)

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost (1874 - 1963)

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.
Thomas H. Huxley (1825 - 1895)

The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself. Prove that you can control yourself, and you are an educated man; and without this all other education is good for nothing.
R. D. Hitchcock

Education is the best provision for old age.
Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC), from Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers

It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus (~100 BC), Maxims
