Education

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
Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

3.
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

4.
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

5.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

6.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

7.
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.

8.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

9.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

10.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

11.
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

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

13.
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

14.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

15.
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

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

17.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

18.
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

19.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

20.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

21.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

22.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

26.
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

27.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

28.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

29.
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

30.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

31.
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.

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

33.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

34.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

35.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

36.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

37.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

38.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

39.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

44.
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

45.
The world is run by C students.

46.
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.

47.
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

48.
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.

49.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

50.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.
