You cannot be wise without some basis of knowledge, but you may easily acquire knowledge and remain bare of wisdom.
Alfred North WhiteheadEducation with inert ideas is not only useless; it is above all things harmful.
Alfred North WhiteheadThe progress of Science consists in observing interconnections and in showing with a patient ingenuity that the events of this ever-shifting world are but examples of a few general relations, called laws. To see what is general in what is particular, and what is permanent in what is transitory, is the aim of scientific thought.
Alfred North WhiteheadAll practical teachers know that education is a patient process of mastery of details, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.
