To me, faith means not worrying.

I believe finally, that education must be conceived as a continuing reconstruction of experience; that the process and the goal of education are one and the same thing.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

Most notable distinction between living and inanimate beings is that the former maintain themselves by renewal.
