Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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.

2.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

3.
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.

4.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

5.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

6.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

7.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

8.
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

9.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

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

12.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

13.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

14.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

18.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

19.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

20.
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

21.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

22.
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

23.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

24.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

25.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

26.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

27.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

28.
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

29.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

30.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

31.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

32.
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

33.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

34.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

35.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

36.
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

37.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

38.
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

39.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

40.
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.

41.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

42.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

43.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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.

47.
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.

48.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

49.
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.

50.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph
