Education Quote by Anonymous
“Education isnt found in a high school, college, or medical school. Its found within yourself. Education is teaching yourself how to find truth rather falsehoods, and how to distinguish what is from what isnt. Learning how to think is education. Learning what to think, is a form of indoctrination.”
