"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything one has learned in school." Albert Einstein
I first heard this quote after graduating from college. I remember trying to figure out what Einstein actually meant by education and forgetting.
Over the years I have repeated this quote to myself and others. It sounded logical enough and it certainly came in handy whenever I needed to justify being unable to recall specific facts I had long forgotten. According to Albert Einstein it was OK to forget what I learned in school. Indeed, I could do so and still be considered "educated."
Merriam-Webster's Dictionary defines "education" as a means: 1) to train by formal instruction and supervised practice especially in a skill, trade, or profession, 2) to develop mentally, morally, or aesthetically especially by instruction, and 3) to provide with information. In other words, education is to know facts and concepts about things like Geometry and Algebra, to understand the structure and principles of grammar, to know about famous leaders throughout world history, be versed in the classics, and to be knowledgeable about different cultures and their languages. However, according to Albert Einstein, until we forget all of these things, we are not "educated."
I remained confused about this quote for a long time, even though it remained one of my favorites. When I became a teacher however, its meaning slowly became clear. As I taught my lessons, I observed students as they memorized new concepts and gained new skills. I observed them as they underwent a growth and learning process. A process by which they worked hard, overcame challenges and comprehended unfamiliar subjects maturing from an, "I can't do this," stage to a stage of, "wow, I did it!" This was the part of education students didn't forget.
As my students began to develop their resolve to complete the tasks at hand, they realized their personal and educational goals. It was under these circumstances that I learned the true meaning of the famous Einstein quote. In essence, to be educated is to know oneself and what one is capable of achieving; most importantly to have a solid self-concept. Through the learning process, and later forgetting the mere facts and concepts that were learned, one ultimately becomes "educated" in self. It makes perfect sense.
Children need positive learning experiences in school. Experiences where they are allowed and encouraged to apply themselves and reach as far as their potential will lead them. Children need to know the extent of their capabilities so when they are older, they may rely on their "education" to overcome the obstacles and hardships they may face; obstacles that when cleared away lead to satisfying, successful and productive lives.

There are so many back to school quotes available. One by Albert Einstein is "Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school." A great quote by Benjamin Franklin, is "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest."
the price is forgotten long after the quality remains
If the government increases taxes, and everything else remains constant:
then everything remains
Benjamin Franklin
Even though he is rich and famous he has not forgotten his Algerian roots and remains very humble.

The correct saying is "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten." This proverb emphasizes the long-lasting impact of choosing poor quality over price when making purchasing decisions.
If the government decreases spending and everything else remains constant, there will be a decrease in aggregate demand, leading to a slowdown of economic growth or even leading to a contraction of the economy.
None, everything and everybody vanished
Everything remains the same....I think
The mission statement of Gucci is that the price is forgotten long after the quality remains. This is to show that the quality of Gucci is what truly matters, even if it is more expensive.
