Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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

2.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

3.
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao

4.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

5.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

6.
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

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

10.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

11.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

12.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

13.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

14.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

15.
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

16.
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

17.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

18.
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

19.
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

20.
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger

21.
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

22.
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

23.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

24.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

25.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

26.
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

27.
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

28.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

29.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

30.
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.

31.
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl

32.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

33.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

34.
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

35.
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David

36.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch

37.
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.

38.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

39.
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

40.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

41.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

42.
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

43.
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

44.
The world is run by C students.

45.
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost

46.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

47.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

48.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

49.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

50.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John
