Education

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
Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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.

2.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

3.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

4.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

5.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

6.
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

7.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

8.
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

9.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

10.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

11.
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

12.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

13.
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

14.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

15.
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.

16.
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

17.
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

18.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

19.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

20.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

21.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

22.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

23.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

24.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

25.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

26.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

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

28.
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.

29.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

30.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

31.
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.

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

33.
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

34.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

35.
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

36.
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

37.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

38.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

39.
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green

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

41.
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

42.
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.

43.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

44.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

45.
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer

46.
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

47.
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar

48.
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

49.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

50.
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
