Eric Hoffer
[I wrote this quote from a Hoffer television appearance around 1978]
Learning people are prepared for the world.
Learned people are prepared for a world that no longer exists.
[I see it quoted the following way from Hoffer's Reflections on the Human Condition (1973)]
In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
