The job is not to cover the material but to uncover
it.

The temple of reason is entered through the courtyard of
habit.
-- Michael Hartoonian
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
--
Albert Einstein
While facts are important, they are less important than
thinking; if for no other reason than that changes in our technology
continue to make many facts obsolete.
-- W. O. Penrose, discussing
the educational theory of Jean Piaget
Science is built up with facts as a house is with
stones. But a collection of facts is no more a science than a heap of
stones is a house.
-- Henri Poincare
Only a mediocre person is always at his best.
--
W. Somerset Maugham
As the island of knowledge grows, so does the shoreline of
wonder.
-- Anonymous
