Children have more need of models than of critics.

Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.

A student of life considers the world a classroom

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced.

A book is a dream that you hold in your hands.

Teaching is the highest form of understanding.

The highest result of education is tolerance.

Nine tenths of education is encouragement.

Education is soul crafting.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

To be successful in life what you need is education, not literacy and degrees.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire.

There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.

Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education.

School was pretty hard for me at the beginning.

What is defeat? Nothing but education; nothing but the first step to something better.

I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.

The knowledge and skill you have achieved are after all meant to be “forgotten” so you can float in emptiness without obstruction and comfortably.

Fluidity is the way to an empty mind. You must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying.

Learning is never cumulative, it is a movement of knowing which has no beginning and no end.

Give recognition where it is due. Complements definitely stimulate more effort and desire to improve. Be generous with honest praising.

A good teacher protects his pupils from his own influence. It is easy to teach one to be skillful, but it is difficult to teach him his own attitude. Each moment during teaching requires a full alert and sensitive mind that is constantly adjusting and constantly changing.

A teacher is never a giver of truth; he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself.
