Education

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

Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

3.
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

4.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

5.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

6.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

7.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

8.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

9.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

10.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

11.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

12.
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

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

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

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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.

19.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

20.
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.

21.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

22.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

23.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

24.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

25.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

26.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

27.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

28.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

29.
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

30.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

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.
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.

33.
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.

34.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

35.
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.

36.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

37.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

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.
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.

40.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

41.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

42.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

43.
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

44.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

45.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

46.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

47.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

48.
The world is run by C students.

49.
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

50.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.
