Education Quotes and Quotation

• "I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. My personal approach creates a climate. My daily mood makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be the tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor. Hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized."
  • Haim Ginott

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

• "I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race."
  • Bertrand Russell: Education and the Social Order

• "We must encourage [each other] -- once we have grasped the basic points -- to interconnecting everything else on our own, to use memory to guide our original thinking, and to accept what someone else says as a starting point, a seed to be nourished and grow. For the correct analogy for the mind is not a vessel that needs filling but wood that needs igniting -- no more -- and then it motivates one towards originality and instills the desire for truth. Suppose someone were to go and ask his neighbors for fire and find a substantial blaze there, and just stay there continually warming himself: that is no different from someone who goes to someone else to get to some of his rationality, and fails to realize that he ought to ignite his own flame, his own intellect, but is happy to sit entranced by the lecture, and the words trigger only associative thinking and bring, as it were, only a flush to his cheeks and a glow to his limbs; but he has not dispelled or dispersed, in the warm light of philosophy, the internal dank gloom of his mind."
  • Plutarch

• "Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living."
  • John Dewey

• "Education would be much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every student should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it."
  • Sir William Haley

• "Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts."
  • Henry Brooks Adams

• "It is impossible for a man to learn what he thinks he already knows."
  • Epictetus

• "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
  • Oscar Wilde

• "Education is a subversive activity that the reason so little of it is going on."
  • J.P.Beckley

• "I can't help but feel that this has been a waste of four years of my life and thousands of dollars of my parents' money. I think I would have been better off with an annotated bibliography and a library card."
  • Alec Campbell (University of Toronto, class of 2002)
