Best Quotes about Education

1.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

2.
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

3.
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

4.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

5.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

6.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

7.
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

8.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

9.
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

10.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

11.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Now, if the principle of toleration were once admitted into classical education --if it were admitted that the great object is to read and enjoy a language, and the stress of the teaching were placed on the few things absolutely essential to this result, if the tortoise were allowed time to creep, and the bird permitted to fly, and the fish to swim, towards the enchanted and divine sources of Helicon --all might in their own way arrive there, and rejoice in its flowers, its beauty, and its coolness.
Stowe, Harriet Beecher

16.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

17.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

18.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

19.
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

20.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

21.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

22.
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

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.
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

25.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

26.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

27.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

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

29.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

30.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

31.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

32.
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

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

35.
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

36.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

37.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

38.
Whom do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances they encounter day by day. Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good naturedly what is offensive in others and being as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as is humanly possible to be... those who hold their pleasures always under control and are not ultimately overcome by their misfortunes... those who are not spoiled by their successes, who do not desert their true selves but hold their ground steadfastly as wise and sober -- minded men.
Socrates

39.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

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

42.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

43.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

44.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

45.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

46.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

47.
The world is run by C students.

48.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

49.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

50.
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
