What Is An Education?

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

- Robert Frost

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.

Education, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men – the balance-wheel of the social machinery.

- Horace Mann

An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory. It’s knowing where to go to find what you need to know, and it’s knowing how to use the information you get.

- William Feather
