Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes.
Denis Diderot (1713 - 1784)

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius
