Alexandre Dumas

Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
E. B. White

We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 - and half the things he knows at 40 hadn't been discovered when he was 20?
Arthur C. Clarke
