Education:
“When Aristotle was asked how much the educated men were
superior to the uneducated, he replied, “As much as the living
are to the dead.”
Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Aristotle, 20 B.C.
“Education is the taming or domestication of the soul’s
raw passions – not suppressing them or excising them, which
would deprive the soul of its energy – but forming and informing
them as art.”
Allan Bloom, The Closing of the American Mind,
1987.
Experience:
“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test
first, the lesson after.”
Vernon Law, This Week, August 14, 1960.
“Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do
with what happens to you.”
Aldous Huxley, Reader’s Digest,
March 1956.
