The principle
goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing
new things, not simply of repeating what other generations
have done -- men who are creative, inventive and
discoverers.

Knowledge
which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the
mind.

Let us
describe the education of our men. What then is the
education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than
that which the experience of the past has already
discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the
body, and music for the mind.
-- Plato
BC 427?-347?, Greek

The most
important part of education is proper training in the
nursery.
