On 2nd October, the birth anniversary of The Father of The Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, let us remind ourselves the wise thoughts of Bapu on education.
- True education must correspond to the surrounding circumstances or it is not a healthy growth.
- What is really needed to make democracy function is not knowledge of facts, but right education.
- You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
- Live as if you were to die tomorrow; learn as if you were to live forever.
- Literacy in itself is no education. Literacy is not the end of education or even the beginning. By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in the child and man-body, mind and spirit.
- Basic education links the children, whether of the cities or the villages, to all that is best and lasting in India.
- Education should be so revolutionized as to answer the wants of the poorest villager, instead of answering those of an imperial exploiter.
- The future depends on what we do in the present.
- There are two days in the year that we can not do anything, yesterday and tomorrow.
- If we want to reach real peace in this world, we should start educating children.
