“Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.”  ~Vernon Howard

Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.  Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life.  ~Henry L. Doherty

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. 







It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education. 

Albert Einstein 

It is in fact a part of the function of education to help us escape, not from our own time -- for we are bound by that -- but from the intellectual and emotional limitations of our time.

Thanks Ankur Sir for this wonderful sharing....

Thanks a lot dear member for much desired value addition and sharing your comments.

As per my opinion a Nations growth and success is dependent on a valuable Education System. Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

Actually the importance of education lies in the following words:

“The next in importance to freedom and justice is EDUCATION, without which neither freedom nor justice can be maintained.”

I believe that education is the fundamental method of social progress and reform. All reforms which rest simply upon the law, or the threatening of certain penalties, or upon changes in mechanical or outward arrangements, are transitory and futile…. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move…. Education thus conceived marks the most perfect and intimate union of science and art conceivable in human experience.

i belive this

Education... has produced a vast population able to read

but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

G. M. Trevelyan (1876 - 1962)
