Humans learn from elder philosophers, teachers, poets, writers, politics, parents and too other people who influence in somehow their life, their education , their vision to the world, as well as their whole philosophy in life. Here are some favorite quotations stated by must famous philosophers, writers and poets who influence my vision to education.
"Logic will get you from A to Z; imagination will get you everywhere."
"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales."
"Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
"Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources"
"Creativity is contagious. Pass it on."
Aristotle
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.”
“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”
“The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living differ from the dead.”
“Those who know, do. Those that understand, teach.”
“Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.”
Plato
“Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something.”
“Do not train a child to learn by force or harshness; but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.”

“Our ignorance can be divided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for. When we face a mystery, however, we can only stare in wonder and bewilderment, not knowing what an explanation would even look like.”
Victor Hugo
“To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark.”
“You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.”

Exactly Hiba, "how to think" is life-long, "what to think" is devastating!
As Imagination (creativity) is higher than knowledge, how to think is the means, as knowldge alone is NOTHING!!!
