Education

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



Best Quotes about Education

1.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

2.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

3.
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

4.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

5.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

6.
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.

7.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

8.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

9.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

10.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

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

13.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

14.
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

15.
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.

16.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

17.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

18.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

19.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

20.
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.

21.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

22.
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

23.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

24.
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

25.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

29.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

30.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

31.
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

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

33.
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

34.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

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

37.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

38.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

39.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
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

43.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

44.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

45.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

46.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

47.
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

48.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

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