Education!

"You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself. Galileo Galilei."

Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, philosopher and mathematician. He was born in 15 February 1564 and dies in 8 January 1642. Galileo Galilei had a major impact in the scientific revolution that time as he made improvement to the telescopes and to the astronomical observations and the support of Copernicans.

He has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", "the father of modern physics", and "the father of modern science".

I think Galileo was ignorant at that moment if he really said this. It is that simply the alphabet is not in anyone's self for example. I have doubts if he really had said this. However, some high schools take his quote as an emblem to motivate their education. Oh. My. God!
