If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. Derek Bok Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need. It describes objects to which the observer no longer has a vital relationship and which are in the process of dying.

Martin H. Fischer Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. I think of the oak beams in the ceiling of College Hall at New College, Oxford. Last century, when the beams needed replacing, carpenters used oak trees that had been planted in 1386 when the dining hall was first built. The 14 th century builder had planted the trees in anticipation of the time, hundreds of years in the future, when the beams would need replacing.
