Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

James A. Garfield

To me, education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil’s soul.
Muriel Spark

A master can tell you what he expects of you.
A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.
Patricia Neal

“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”
— Paulo Freire (Pedagogy of the Oppressed)

A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
Mohandas Gandhi

The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.
John Dewey
