Learning is something students do, NOT something done to students. Alfie Kohn

What people need and what they want may be very different.... Teachers are those who educate the people to appreciate the things they need. Elbert Hubbard

Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen. Lee Iacocca

That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way. Doris Lessing

Only through education does one come to be dissatisfied with his own knowledge, and only through teaching others does one come to realize the uncomfortable inadequacy of his knowledge. Being dissatisfied with his own knowledge, one then realizes that the trouble lies with himself, and realizing the uncomfortable inadequacy of his knowledge one then feels stimulated to improve himself. Therefore, it is said, "the processes of teaching and learning stimulate one another." Confucius, circa 500 BCE
