That's an incredible thought.  Because my mother was not educated.  But she strove hard to try to get all of her children educated.  My oldest brother once remarked that if our mother had been educated she would have been unstoppable!

I understood what my brother meant.  However, my observation of my mother is very different from my brother's.  My mother may have not been formally educated, but she was very wise.  Her advice and guidance for life to all of us was profound and enlightening.  She wasn't educated but she sure wasn't ignorant!  

I think to make sure this quote is properly applied we need to clearly define what it truly means to be educated.  What do you think?
