Education

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
Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

3.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

4.
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

5.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

6.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

7.
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.

8.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

9.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

10.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

11.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

12.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

13.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

14.
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.

15.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

16.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

17.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

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

19.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

20.
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.

21.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

22.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

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

28.
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

29.
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.

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

34.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

35.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

36.
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

37.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

38.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

39.
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

40.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

41.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

42.
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.

43.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

44.
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

45.
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

46.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

47.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

48.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

49.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

50.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?
