Education

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

Education Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Education

1.
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.

2.
Every uneducated person is a caricature of himself.
Schlegel, Friedrich

3.
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

4.
Fathers send their sons to college either because they went to college or because they didn't.
L. L. Henderson

5.
The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.
Phillips, Wendell

6.
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.

7.
The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.
Ruskin, John

8.
The world is run by C students.

9.
Education is like a double-edged sword. It may be turned to dangerous uses if it is not properly handled.
Wu Ting-Fang

10.
Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain

11.
Education has for its object the formation of character.
Herbert Spencer

12.
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes Laertius

13.
I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

14.
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

15.
Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes.
Norman Douglas

16.
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

17.
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.

18.
Bachelor's degrees make pretty good placemats if you get'em laminated.
Jeph Jacques

19.
Everyone has a right to a university degree in America, even if it's in Hamburger Technology.
Clive James

20.
The most important part of teaching is to teach what it is to know.
Weil, Simone

21.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.

22.
College isn't the place to go for ideas.
Helen Keller

23.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner

27.
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

28.
Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
Ruskin, John

29.
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

30.
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

31.
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

32.
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

33.
School is where you go between when your parents can't take you, and industry can't take you.
Updike, John

34.
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

35.
Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained.
James A. Garfield

36.
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
Ruskin, John

37.
Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.
Dr. Thomas Fuller

38.
An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all
Socrates

39.
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.

40.
No one wants a good education. Everyone wants a good degree.
Rudolph, Lee

41.
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

42.
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep-herding.
Pound, Ezra

43.
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

44.
It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated.
Alec Bourne

45.
If nobody dropped out of eighth grade, who would hire the college graduates?

46.
Invest in yourself, in your education. There's nothing better.
Porter, Sylvia

47.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
William James

48.
Education is a kind of continuing dialogue, and a dialogue assumes, in the nature of the case, different points of view.
Robert Hutchins

49.
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Young, Brigham

50.
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain
