I don't really know Mark Twain, but it sounds as though your schooling and education are meant to be separate, basically it may mean that you shouldn't live you life reading text books, but learning about the world through experience.
Einstein on the other hand I know quite well. Basically he was a very stubborn person who hated schooling and had to be convinced by his parents to finish it. When he went to uni he basically skiped most classes to just think outside.
His real worked started in the patent office he worked at, where he would spend his free time thinking about what physicists had theorised. But as he became older his stubborness became even worse and he went off on a tangent to finding his grand unified theory and took absolutely no interest into quantum mechanics, because of it's uncertainty.
To a certain degree I think that both mean the same thing.
NE2000:
lol they do mean the same thing. They were intended to complement each other, but also show the subjective interpretation of the word 'education'.
Btw, I'm sorry for inadvertently turning a thread full of such interesting discussion off topic....let's try and get back on track.
