B F Skinner

B. F. Skinner/Quotes:

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.
