Best Quotes about Education
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
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas
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
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
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
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan
America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
Evan Esar
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
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
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Rohn, Jim
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.
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 first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John
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
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques
It is only the ignorant who despise education.
Publilius Syrus
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
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
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
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.
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain
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
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
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John
The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth that it prevents you from achieving.
Russell Green
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
Our attitude towards ourselves should be to be satiable in learning and towards others to be tireless in teaching.
Zedong, Mao
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell
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
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
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James
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
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham
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.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson
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.
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield
