70. Swami Vivekananda
"Education is not the amount of information that is put into your brain and runs riot there, undigested, all your life We must have life-building, man-making, character-making assimilation of ideas If you have assimilated five ideas and made them your life and character, you have more education than any man who has got by heart a whole library Real education is that which enables one to stand on one's own legs"`
