“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.

“The purpose of education is to enable us to develop to the fullest that which is inside us. To educate is to draw out from within us our innate abilities to think, reason, and create. It is to teach us how to live, to give us the knowledge and skills we need to survive and prosper in the world. But more than that, education must impart a sense of values, a moral compass to guide us in our lives.”

– Dalai Lama

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

– Confucius
