Quote of the day

These are the effects of doting age,--vain doubts and idle cares and over caution.

Thomas Moore

Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities--that's training or instruction--but is rather a making visible what is hidden as a seed. . . To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life. . . One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated.
