Best Quotes about Education

1.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

2.
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

3.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

4.
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

5.
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

6.
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

7.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

8.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

9.
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

10.
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

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
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.

14.
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

15.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

16.
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.

17.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

18.
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

19.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

20.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

21.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

22.
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

23.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

24.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

25.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

26.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

27.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

28.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

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

31.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

32.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

33.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

34.
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

35.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

36.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

37.
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

38.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

39.
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

40.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

41.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

42.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

43.
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

44.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

45.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

46.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

47.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

48.
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

49.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

50.
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
