Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

2.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

3.
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

4.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

5.
The world is run by C students.

6.
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.

7.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

8.
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.

9.
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

10.
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.

11.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

12.
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

13.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

14.
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

15.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

16.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

17.
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

18.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

19.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

20.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

21.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

22.
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

23.
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

24.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

25.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

26.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

27.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

28.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

29.
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.

30.
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

31.
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.

32.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

33.
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

34.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

35.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

36.
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

37.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

38.
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

39.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

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

41.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

42.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

43.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

44.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

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

46.
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

47.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

48.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

49.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

50.
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
