Best Quotes about Education

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

Porter, Sylvia

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

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

L. L. Henderson

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 first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

Ruskin, John

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.

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.

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

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.

10.

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

11.

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

Plato

12.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

B. F. Skinner

13.

Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.

Norman Douglas

14.

A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.

Stockdale, James B.

15.

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

Rogers, Carl

16.

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

Robert Hutchins

23.

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

24.

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.

25.

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

Gail Godwin

26.

An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.

Quinet, Edgar

27.

Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.

James A. Garfield

28.

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

29.

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

30.

College isn't the place to go for ideas.

Helen Keller

31.

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.

32.

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.

Rohn, Jim

33.

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

G. M. Trevelyan

34.

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

Pete Seeger

35.

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

Mark Twain

36.

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

37.

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

Schopenhauer, Arthur

38.

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

39.

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

Phillips, Wendell

40.

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

Thoreau, Henry David
