George Bernard Shaw teachingeducationteacher My schooling not only failed to teach me what it professed to be teaching, but prevented me from being educated to an extent which infuriates me when I think of all I might have learned at home by myself. George Bernard Shaw learningteachingeducation Don't believe a teaching just because you've heard it from a man who's supposed to be holy, or because it's contained in a book supposed to be holy, or because all your friends and neighbors believe it.

How far from the truth! George Ohsawa teachingphilosophythinking He who thinks that macrobiotic living is merely a cure for physical ailments, however, can never really be helped.
