“Education must have two foundations --morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defense for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort
“Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is”

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”

“Yesterday I knew how to make a new brush in photoshop totally myself, though I had never worked with brushes before (didn't even use, not create),hmm, interesting experience. Even if to think abstractly -TODAY- you don't know what something means & how it can be used!TOMORROW- you not only use but create a new one of the same kind! Isn't it paradox of life?! Isn't it a prove that there're so much new to learn & so many possibilities and opportunities which're just one step from you & me.”

“As a thinker and planner the ant is the equal of any savage race of men; as a self-educated specialist in several arts she is the superior of any savage race of men; and in one or two high mental qualities she is above the reach of any man, savage or civilized!”
Mark Twain
“Self-education is self-love. Love thyself.”

“Self denial is not a virtue: it is only the effect of prudence on rascality”
George Bernard Shaw
