Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
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

3.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

4.
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

5.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

6.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

7.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

8.
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.

9.
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.

10.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

11.
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

12.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

13.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

14.
The world is run by C students.

15.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

16.
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.

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

20.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

21.
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

22.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

23.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

24.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

25.
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

26.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

27.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

28.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

29.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

30.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

31.
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

32.
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

33.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

34.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

35.
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.

36.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

37.
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

38.
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

39.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

40.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

41.
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

42.
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

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

45.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

46.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

47.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

48.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

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

50.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee
