There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction
that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must
take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though
the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn
can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of
ground which is given to him to till. --Ralph
Waldo Emerson
The function of education is to help you from childhood not to
imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time. --Jiddu
Krishnamurti
We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need
reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come
to man's estate, is the gift of education --Jean-Jacques
Rousseau (1712-1778)
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then...do
something. Don't just stand there, make it happen. --Lee
Iacocca Your biggest opportunity probably lies under your own feet, in your current
job, industry, education, experience or interests. --Brian
Tracy
The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure
in the exercise of his mind. --Jacques Martin
Barzun If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation
to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.
--Jim Rohn
A good education is not so much one which prepares a man to succeed
in the world, as one which enables him to sustain a failure. --Bernard
Iddings Bell Chaplain, University of Chicago Label on a child's Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable
you to fly. --Unknown
The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves
throughout their lives. --Robert Maynard
Hutchins Education is what survives when what has been learnt has been forgotten. --B.
F. Skinner
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent
will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education
will not the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence
and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,'
has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race
--Calvin Coolidge The education and empowerment of women throughout the world cannot fail to
result in a more caring, tolerant, just and peaceful life for
all. --Aung San Suu Kyi Nobel Peace Prize
Laureate leader of Burma's democracy movement
It has always seemed strange to me that in our endless discussions
about education so little stress is laid on the pleasure of becoming
an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To
be able to be caught up into the world of thought--that is to
be educated. --Edith Hamilton If I were asked to enumerate ten educational stupidities, the giving of grades
would head the list... If I can't give a child a better reason
for studying than a grade on a report card, I ought to lock my
desk and go home and stay there. --Dorothy
De Zouche
I have never let my schooling interfere with my education --Mark
