Motivational Quotes
Education
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.
Best Quotes about Education
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
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.
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.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller
The creative person is usually rebellious. He or she is the survivor of a trauma called education.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.
Plato
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 like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone
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
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
The world is run by C students.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John
Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
Gail Godwin
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.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain
An effeminate education weakens both the mind and the body.
Quinet, Edgar
Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.
Robert Frost
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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 most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
Plato
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.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia
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
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.
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
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra
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
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
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
Most people are willing to pay more to be amused than to be educated.
Savage, Robert C.
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.
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
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
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
To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains.
Mary Pettibone Poole
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?
To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education, I call it intrusion.
Spark, Muriel
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins
The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
Rogers, Carl
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates
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
A liberally educated person meets new ideas with curiosity and fascination. An illiberally educated person meets new ideas with fear.
Stockdale, James B.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John
