True Education Quotes (page 2)

Something else an academic education will do for you. If you go along with it any considerable distance, it will begin to give you an idea what size mind you have.

For one thing, it may save you an extraordinary amount of time trying on ideas that won’t suit you, aren’t becoming to you. You’ll begin to know your true measurements and dress your mind accordingly. J. D. Salinger

As Indians, we must of course learn from the past; but we must remain focused on the future. In my view, education is the true alchemy that can bring India its next golden age. Pranab Mukherjee
