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 does not mean jamming information into somebody's head. Rather, it's that ancient idea that all knowledge is within us; to teach is to help somebody pull it out of themselves.
Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life.
Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
Memory and creativity are essential to education, but if you teach memory incorrectly, it is a total waste of time, and it will inhibit learning.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Today, education does not give you the wisdom and the understanding; it only indoctrinates you to believe something. So the mind knows very less but accepts so many things; it may be science, it may be technology, it may be anything.
Many think of memory as rote learning, a linear stuffing of the brain with facts, where understanding is irrelevant. When you teach it properly, with imagination and association, understanding becomes a part of it.
Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.
Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.
