Knowledge is not something to be packed away
in some corner of our brain but, what enters
into our being, colours our emotion, haunts
our soul, and is as close to us as life itself.
It is the over-mastering power which, through
the intellect moulds the whole personality,
trains the emotion and disciplines the will.
--- S. Radhakrishnan.
It will not be merely to listen to greate principles.
You must apply them in the practical field,
turn them into constant practice.
--- Swami Vivekananda
Education does not mean teaching people to know
what they don't know, it means teaching them
to behave as they don't behave.
--- John Reskin
"Education is the great engine of personal development.
It is through education that the daughter of
a peasant can
become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker
can become
the head of a mine, that a child of farmworker
can become
the president of a great nation. It is what we
make out of
what we have, not what we are given, that separates
one
person from another".
--Nelson Mandela
We know accurately only when we know little,
with Knowledge, doubt enters !
The first step to knowledge is
to know that we are ignorant !
Research is to see what everybody else sees,
and to think what nobody else has thought !
He who learns by Finding out has sevenfold
the skill of who learned by Being told !
He who, for the sake of learning lowers himself
by exposing his ignorance,
will ultimately be elevated.
Education is what you use,
while culture is what you are !
Personally, I'm always ready to learn, although
I do not
always like being taught.
-- Sir Winston Churchill
