The Roots Of Education Are Bitter
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
About this quote
Diogenes Laertius attributes this saying to Aristotle in Lives of the Eminent Philosophers (3rd century AD), one of the most important surviving sources for ancient Greek philosophy. While written centuries after Aristotle's death, Diogenes drew on earlier biographical traditions. Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens around 335 BC after serving as tutor to Alexander the Great.
