1. I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. Mark Twain

2.  Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality. Beatrix Potter

3.  Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself. John Dewey

4.  Everybody is a genius.  But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing it is stupid. Albert Einstein

5.  A room without books is like a body without a soul. Cicero
