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

Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

2.
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

3.
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

4.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

5.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

6.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

7.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

8.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

9.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

10.
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

11.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
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.

16.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

17.
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

18.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

19.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

20.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

21.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

22.
The world is run by C students.

23.
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

24.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

25.
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.

26.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

27.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

28.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

29.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

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

32.
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.

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

35.
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

36.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

37.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

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

39.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

40.
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

41.
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.

42.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

43.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

44.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

45.
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.

46.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

47.
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

48.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

49.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

50.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia
