Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. -W. B. Yeats.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep, and nodding by the fire, take down this book and slowly read, and dream of the soft look your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep.

Education is not filling a bucket, but lighting a fire.
