Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

5.
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

6.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

10.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

11.
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.

12.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

13.
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

14.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

15.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

16.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

17.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

18.
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

19.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

20.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

21.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

22.
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

23.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

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

25.
The secret of all success is to know how to deny yourself. Prove that you can control yourself, and you are an educated man; and without this all other education is good for nothing.
R. D. Hitchcock

26.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

27.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

28.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

29.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

30.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

31.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

32.
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

33.
The world is run by C students.

34.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

35.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

36.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

37.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

38.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

39.
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.

40.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

41.
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.
Sullivan, Anne

42.
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

43.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

44.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

45.
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

46.
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

47.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

48.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

49.
Let us describe the education of our men. What then is the education to be? Perhaps we could hardly find a better than that which the experience of the past has already discovered, which consists, I believe, in gymnastic, for the body, and music for the mind.
Plato

50.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John
