What is an educated person? "First, capable of usually hitting upon the right course.

Forth and most important, his head will not be turned by success. Those whose should is well tuned to play its part in all these ways I regards as educated." ~Isocrates, ancient Greek Philosopher "An educated man is one who loves knowledge and will accept no substitutes and whose life is made meaningful through the never-ending process of the cultivation of his total intellectual resources." ~Sterling M. McMurrin What is education? "Education is the fairest thing that the best of men can have." "The particular learning which leads you throughout your life to hate what should be hated and love what should be loved will be rightly called education. People are educated who have the seen the beautiful and just and good in their truth." ~Plato, ancient Greek philosopher "Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a took of every faculty - how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. " ~Henry Ward Beecher "Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them; and these two objects are always attainable together and by the same means; the training which makes men happiest in themselves also makes them most serviceable to others." ~John Ruskin "To be self-sustaining, a people has to attend to its economy. To be self-renewing it has to attend to the education of its youth." ~Mordecai M. Kaplan The Art of Learning "The saddest thing about any man is that he be ignorant, and the most exciting thing is that he knows." – King Alfred, died 899 CE And what a person thinks on his own without being stimulated by thoughts and experiences of other people is even in the best of case rather paltry and monotonous." ~Albert Einstein "The mind is capable of any thing, because everything is in it...the past as well as the future." ~unknown "But it's not just learning things that's important. It's learning what to do with what you learn and learning why you learn things at all that matters." - Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth "Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer." - Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth
