There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

You only stop learning when you quit.

Education should prepare our minds to use its own powers of reason and conception rather than filling it with the accumulated misconceptions of the past.

I grow old learning something new every day.

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.

Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that, by the time they leave school, every boy and girl should know how much they don’t know and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it

Learning is not just a labour market or economic growth issue. It is an integral part of human development. We learn from birth to death.
