Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance.
Will Durant (1885-1981) U.S. author and historian.
Education is that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) U.S. journalist and writer.
Education: Being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't. It's knowing where to go to find out what you need to know; and it's knowing how to use the information once you get it.
William Feather
