Motivational Quotes
Education
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.
Best Quotes about Education
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
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield
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.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne
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.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang
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
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
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
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
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John
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
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques
A college degree is not a sign that one is a finished product but an indication a person is prepared for life.
Reverend Edward A. Malloy
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
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
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John
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
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham
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
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich
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
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.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan
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
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim
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
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
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin
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
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.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
