Education

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
Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

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

5.
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

6.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

7.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

8.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

9.
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

10.
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.

11.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

12.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

13.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

14.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

15.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

16.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

17.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

18.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

19.
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

20.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

21.
The world is run by C students.

22.
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

23.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

24.
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.

25.
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

26.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

27.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

28.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

29.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

30.
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

31.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

32.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

33.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

34.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

35.
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

36.
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

37.
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

38.
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

39.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

40.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

41.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

42.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

43.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

44.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

45.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

46.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

47.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

48.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

49.
