We can't take a slipshod and easygoing

Education in Zambia
A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence
stops.
Henry Brooks Adams, historian
People learn what you teach them, not what you intend to teach them.
B.F. Skinner, behaviorist
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin, printer, inventor, statesman
Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at another. It's like feeding a dog on his own
tail. It won't fatten the dog.
Mark Twain, writer

Francis Bacon, philosopher
Education is the best provision for old age.
Aristotle, philosopher
I never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain, writer
You can always tell a Harvard man, but you can't tell him much.
James Barnes, author
