Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

3.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

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.
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

6.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

7.
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.

8.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

9.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

10.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

11.
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

12.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

13.
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

14.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

15.
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

16.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

17.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

18.
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

19.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

20.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

21.
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

22.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

23.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

24.
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

25.
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.

26.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

27.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

28.
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

29.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

30.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

31.
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

32.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

33.
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

34.
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

35.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

36.
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

37.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

38.
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

39.
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

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

42.
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.

43.
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

44.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

45.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

46.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

47.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

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 for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

50.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James
