A man who cannot think is not an educated man however many college degrees he may have acquired.
A man's real education begins after he has left school. True education is gained through the discipline of life.
The object of education is not to fill a man's mind with facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking.
An educated man is not one whose memory is trained to carry a few dates in history - he is one who can accomplish things.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.
