Best Quotes about Education

1.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

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

3.
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.

4.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

8.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

9.
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

10.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

11.
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

12.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

13.
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

14.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

15.
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.

16.
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.

17.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

18.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

19.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

20.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

21.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

22.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

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

25.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

26.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

27.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

28.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

29.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

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

32.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

33.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

34.
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

35.
The world is run by C students.

36.
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.

37.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

38.
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

39.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

40.
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

41.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

45.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

46.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

47.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

48.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

49.
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

50.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques
