Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

3.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

4.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

5.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

6.
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

10.
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.

11.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

12.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

13.
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.

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
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

17.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

18.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

19.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

20.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

21.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

22.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

23.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

24.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

25.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

26.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

27.
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

28.
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.

29.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

30.
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

31.
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

32.
The world is run by C students.

33.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

34.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

35.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

36.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

37.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

38.
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.

39.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

40.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

41.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

45.
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim

46.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

47.
Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Twain, Mark

48.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

49.
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

50.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain
