Inspirational Quote 18 - Thomas Moore

Education is not the piling on of learning,
information, data, facts, skills, or abilities.

or be informed, but he or she does have to have been
exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of
an engaged human life...

One of the greatest problems of our time is
that many are schooled but few are educated.
