Motivational Quotes
Education
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.
Best Quotes about Education
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?
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
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
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
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas
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
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.
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
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
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John
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
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.
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
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin
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
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
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
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone
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
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell
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.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar
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
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
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.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.
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
The world is run by C students.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao
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
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson
