Louis L'Amour quote: "What is education but a conditioning of the mind to a society..."
What is education but a conditioning of the mind to a society and a way of life. Louis L'Amour
In the United States we have concentrated tremendous sums of money on the educational plant, seemingly with the idea that the right number of buildings will turn out the right number of graduates.

No matter how much I admire our schools, I know that no university exists that can provide an education; what a university can provide is an outline, to give the learner a direction and guidance. The rest one has to do for oneself. Louis L'Amour
Louis L'Amour quote: "We do not at present educate people to think but, rather, to..."

No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process. Louis L'Amour
