What usually happens in the educational process is that the faculties are dulled, overloaded, stuffed and paralyzed so that by the time most people are mature they have lost their innate capabilities.

I think kids slowly begin to realize that what they're learning relates to other things they know. Then learning starts to get more and more exciting.

We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.

The young are adept at learning, but even more adept at avoiding it.

Sometimes in the world, there's such pressure to follow a certain path that we forget the importance of learning as we go.

Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long.

One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.

Our education system is not preparing young people for the world they will face.

There's only so much academic disruption that a young child can deal with before he just can't catch up.

But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents.
