Best Quotes about Education

1.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

2.
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

3.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

4.
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

5.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

6.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

7.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

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

9.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

10.
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

11.
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

12.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

13.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

14.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

15.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

16.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

17.
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

18.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

19.
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

20.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

21.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

22.
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

23.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

24.
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

25.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

26.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

27.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

28.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

29.
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.

30.
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

31.
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.

32.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

33.
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.

34.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

35.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

36.
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.

37.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

38.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

39.
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

40.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

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

43.
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

44.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

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

47.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

48.
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.

49.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

50.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.
