Education

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
Education Motivational Quotes



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.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

3.
The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done -- men who are creative, inventive and discoverers.
Piaget, Jean

4.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

5.
You don't need fancy highbrow traditions or money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves.
Adam Cooper and Bill Collage

6.
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

7.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

8.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

9.
Education, we see, is not merely gaining knowledge or skills helpful toward productive work, though certainly that is a part of it. Rather it is a replenishment and an expansion of the natural thirst of the mind and soul. Learning is a gradual process of growth, each step building upon the other. It is a process whereby the learner organizes and integrates not only facts but attitudes and values. The Lord has told us that we must open our minds and our hearts to learn. There is a Chinese proverb: Wisdom is as the moon rises, perceptible not in progress but in result. As our knowledge is converted to wisdom, the door to opportunity is unlocked.
Winder, Barbara W.

10.
An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life.

11.
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

12.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

13.
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

14.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

15.
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

16.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

17.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

18.
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.

19.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

20.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

21.
A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.
Reverend Edward A. Malloy

22.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

23.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

24.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

25.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

26.
Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?
Richards, Beah

27.
Formal education is but an incident in the lifetime of an individual. Most of us who have given the subject any study have come to realize that education is a continuous process ending only when ambition comes to a halt.
Rees, R. I.

28.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

29.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

30.
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

31.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

32.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

33.
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

34.
True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality, the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of talent, of genius; for inequality, not mediocrity, individual superiority, not standardization, is the measure of the progress of the world.
Schelling, Felix E.

35.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

36.
That's what college is for - getting as many bad decisions as possible out of the way before you're forced into the real world. I keep a checklist of'em on the wall in my room.
Jeph Jacques

37.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

38.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

39.
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

40.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

41.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

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

43.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

44.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

45.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

46.
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

47.
The world is run by C students.

48.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

49.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

50.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone
