Confucius on education

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile, who weeps when I weep, for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.

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.

Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

Mahatma Gandhi1869–1948
