The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
Arthur Schopenhauer | Education
Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world.
Malcolm X – Education
In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Education
Make your educational laws strict and your criminal ones can be gentle; but if you leave youth its liberty you will have to dig dungeons for ages.
Michel de Montaigne – Educational laws
In true education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a bit of table talk — they are all part of the curriculum.
Michel de Montaigne – Education, Book
In the education of children there is nothing like alluring the interest and affection, otherwise you only make so many asses laden with books.
Michel de Montaigne – Education, Teaching
Restraint and discipline and examples of virtue and justice. These are the things that form the education of the world.
Education – Edmund Burke
Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.
Education, Example – Edmund Burke
Education must have two foundations – morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defense for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.
Nicolas Chamfort – Education
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook.
Henry David Thoreau – Education
A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.
Audrey Hepburn – Education
No man who worships education has got the best out of education. Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
G.K. Chesterton – Contempt for education
Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.
G.K. Chesterton – Education
Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.
G.K. Chesterton – Education, Society
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
