I talk and talk and talk, and I haven’t taught people in fifty years what my father taught me by example in one week.
learning
on what education means to me
not
to control minds
but
to open them
from the Analects by Confucius
The Master said, Yu, shall I teach you what knowledge is? When you know a thing, to recognize that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to recognize that you do not know it. That is knowledge.
