Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed...
To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life...
One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.

                                                                                                  -Thomas Moore

A desire of knowledge is the natural feeling of mankind; 
and every human being whose mind is not debauched 
will be willing to give all that he has to get knowledge.

It is by studying little things that we attain the great knowledge of having as little misery and as much happiness as possible.
:	Samuel Johnson

The things taught in schools and colleges are not an education, but the means of education.

 "Education is the KEY unlock the golden door of freedom."

There is one quality that one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose,

 the knowledge of what one wants and a burning desire to possess it.

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than parents, 

for these only gave life, those the art of living well.

      - Einstein
