Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin

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

3.
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

4.
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

5.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

6.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

7.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain

8.
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus

9.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

10.
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

11.
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar

12.
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

13.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

14.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

15.
The world is run by C students.

16.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

17.
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

18.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

19.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

20.
Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Stalin, Joseph

21.
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.

22.
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.

23.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

24.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole

25.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

26.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

27.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.

28.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

29.
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.

30.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

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

32.
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.

33.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

34.
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

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

36.
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato

37.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

38.
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

39.
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

40.
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.

41.
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

42.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

43.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

44.
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

45.
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

46.
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

47.
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.

48.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

49.
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

50.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone
