Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best. Experience is a good school but the fees are high. Never judge a book by its movie. Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority. The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
The most thoroughly wasted of all days is that on which one has not laughed. Our major obligation is not to mistake slogans for solutions. People who know little are usually great talkers while men who know much say little. The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.
