Quote for the First Day of School

I know most schools are still a week or two from beginning classes, but not my University, where the Fall semester began today. In keeping with that occasion, a quotation from the eminent twentieth century educator Jean Piaget seems appropriate:

"The principal goal of education is to create
men who are capable of doing new things,
not simply repeating what other
generations have done."
