"The essential difference between a good and a bad education is this, that the former draws on the child to learn by making it sweet to him, the latter drives the child to learn, by making it sour to him if he does not." - Charles Buxton "I never let school interfere with my education." - Mark Twain "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society." - Theodore Roosevelt "Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune." - Jim Rohn "We believe that education is one of the principal causes of discontent of late years manifesting itself among the laboring classes." - Senate Committee on Education and Labor, 1885 "It is natural businessmen should seek to influence the enactment and administration of laws, national and international, and that they should try to control education." - Max Otto, 1949 "The apparent purpose of education is to convince two thirds of the students that they really are stupid." - Edward de Bono "Education should aim at destroying free will so that after pupils are thus schooled they will be incapable throughout the rest of their lives of thinking or acting otherwise than as their school masters would have wished." - Johann Gottlieb Fichte, head of philosophy & psychology at Prussian University in Berlin
