We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. ~
~Lesley Conger
The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book. You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library.
~Martin H. Fischer
The pupil can only educate himself. Teachers are the custodians of apparatus upon which he himself must turn and twist to acquire the excellencies that distinguish the better from the poorer of God's vessels.
Robert Brault,
Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must stop adding and start updating. ~
~Alvin Toffler
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
~Dana Stewart Scott
Learn as much as you can while you are young, since life becomes too busy later.
~Bernard Keble Sandwell

Russell Hoban
If the past cannot teach the present and the father cannot teach the son, then history need not have bothered to go on, and the world has wasted a great deal of time. ~
~Martin H. Fischer
It is not hard to learn more. What is hard is to unlearn when you discover yourself wrong.
~Martin H. Fischer
I find four great classes of students: The dumb who stay dumb. The dumb who become wise. The wise who go dumb. The wise who remain wise.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. ~
