Best Quotes about Education

1.
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
Thomas H. Huxley

2.
No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.
Whitney, Orson F.

3.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

4.
An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don't.
Anatole France

5.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

6.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

7.
All my life, as down an abyss without a bottom. I have been pouring van loads of information into that vacancy of oblivion I call my mind.
Smith, Logan Pearsall

8.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

9.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

10.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

11.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

12.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

13.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

14.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

15.
To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.
Spark, Muriel

16.
Education has opened many, many doors. However, there are still innumerable doors shut tight -- unopened yet. These are the doors of the future. Perhaps one of my children will open one of these doors -- I shall help give him the key.

17.
The strength of the United States is not the gold at Fort Knox or the weapons of mass destruction that we have, but the sum total of the education and the character of our people.
Claiborne Pell

18.
The number of books will grow continually, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes.
Denis Diderot

19.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

20.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

21.
I didn't go to college at all, any college, and I'm not saying you wasted your time or money, but look at me, I'm a huge celebrity.
Ellen DeGeneres

22.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

23.
Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Twain, Mark

24.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

25.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

26.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

27.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

28.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

29.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

30.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

31.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

32.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

33.
A well-informed mind is the best security against the contagion of folly and of vice. The vacant mind is ever on the watch for relief, and ready to plunge into error, to escape from the languor of idleness.
Ann Radcliffe

34.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

35.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

36.
The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence.
Wilde, Oscar

37.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

38.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

39.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

40.
If our education had included training to bear unpleasantness and to let the first shock pass until we could think more calmly, many an unbearable situation would become manageable, and many a nervous illness avoided. There is proverb expressing this. It says,trouble is a tunnel thorough which we pass and not a brick wall against which we must break our head.
Weeks, Claire

41.
The purpose of education is to keep a culture from being drowned in senseless repetitions, each of which claims to offer a new insight.
Rosenberg, Harold

42.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

43.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

44.
She knows what is the best purpose of education: not to be frightened by the best but to treat it as part of daily life.
John Mason Brown

45.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

46.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

47.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

48.
Public school is a place of detention for children placed in the care of teachers who are afraid of the principal, principals who are afraid of the school board, school boards who are afraid of the parents, parents who are afraid of the children, and children who are afraid of nobody.

49.
There is hardly a pioneer's hut which does not contain a few odd volumes of Shakespeare. I remember reading the feudal drama of Henry V for the first time in a log cabin.
Tocqueville, Alexis De

50.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
