Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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.

2.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

3.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

4.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

5.
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

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

9.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

10.
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

11.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

12.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

13.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

14.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

15.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

16.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

17.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

18.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

19.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

20.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

21.
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

22.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

23.
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.

24.
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.

25.
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

26.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

27.
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

28.
She knows what is the best purpose of education: not to be frightened by the best but to treat it as part of daily life.
John Mason Brown

29.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

30.
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

31.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

32.
The world is run by C students.

33.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

34.
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

35.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

36.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

37.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

38.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

39.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

40.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

41.
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

42.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

43.
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

44.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

45.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

46.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

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.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

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

50.
I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.
Sullivan, Anne
