Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Christopher Betts (2008). “Discourse on Political Economy and The Social Contract”, p.35, Oxford University Press

Education is either from nature, from man or from things. The developing of our faculties and organs is the education of nature; that of man is the application we learn to make of this very developing; and that of things is the experience we acquire in regard to the different objects by which we are affected. All that we have not at our birth, and that we stand in need of at the years of maturity, is the gift of education.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Inspirational, Education, Maturity
