Quotations by Subject: Education (60 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.: Sir William Haley
I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive.: John W. Gardner (1912 - 2002)
It is our American habit if we find the foundations of our educational structure unsatisfactory to add another story or wing. We find it easier to add a new study or course or kind of school than to recognize existing conditions so as to meet the need.: John Dewey (1859 - 1952)
The primary purpose of education is not to teach you to earn your bread, but to make every mouthful sweeter.: James R. Angell
Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within the hearing of little children tends towards the formation of character.: Hosea Ballou (1796 - 1861)
Upon books the collective education of the race depends; they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.: Henry C. Rogers
By the time the child can draw more that scribble, by the age of four or five years, an already well-formed body of conceptual knowledge formulated in language dominates his memory and controls his graphic work. Drawings are graphic accounts of essentially verbal processes. As an essentially verbal education gains control, the child abandons his graphic efforts and relies almost entirely on words. Language has first spoilt drawing and then swallowed it up completely.: Karl Buhler, 1930
Education is not received. It is achieved.: Author Unknown
Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.: Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.: Henry Steele Commager
