| Good ones, I particularly like the ones by Galileo. If our education system would work more on teaching children how to learn, rather than fill them full of "facts", they would be so much more educated. |

| Three great quotes, but man always has been his own worst enemy and now more than ever pulls the rug right out from under himself. I don't think that kids learn as much as we did by rote, but they are so much distracted that they don't want to spend the time to learn by themselves. |
