Best Quotes about Education
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson
Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.
Pete Seeger
The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.
Herbert Spencer
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang
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
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
That's what college is for - getting as many bad decisions as possible out of the way before you're forced into the real world. I keep a checklist of'em on the wall in my room.
Jeph Jacques
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield
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.
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
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
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.
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
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.
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.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.
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.
The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education.
Plutarch
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
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer
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 produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques
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
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin
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
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
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John
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
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
