Educational Quotes (page 63)

Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below. Such is the general rule. Temperament, education, the accidents of life, are modifying factors. Outside of this, everything is ordered arrangement, everything is chance. Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success. Napoleon Bonaparte
Margaret Mead quote: "My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me..."
My grandmother wanted me to have an education, so she kept me out of school. Margaret Mead
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was. "Light! give me light!" was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on... Helen Keller
I don't want to do the type of writing where I recite biography, parentage and education. I want to rise up from the words on the page and do something, hurt someone. Don DeLillo

The novelist now usurps the chair of the educator, the pulpit of the preacher, the columns of the journalist. Yet his original purpose of entertaining may have been his highest purpose. (introduction to Gladiator, Book League Monthly, 1930) Philip Wylie
All I know is that I carried you for nine months. I fed you, I clothed you, I paid for your college education. Friending me on Facebook seems like a small thing to ask in return. Jodi Picoult
Cole Porter quote: "a college education I would never propose - a bachelor's..."
a college education I would never propose - a bachelor's degree won't even keep you in clothes Cole Porter
[He] understood the people in a new way...The people is not everyone who speaks our language, nor yet the elect marked by the fiery stamp of genius. Not by birth, not by the work of one's hands, not by the wings of education is one elected into the people.But by one's inner self.Everyone forges his inner self year after year.One must try to temper, to cut, to polish one's soul so as to become a human being. And thereby become a tiny particle of one's own people. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
He doesn't have so much learning...or any special education either; he's silent, and he grins at you silently--that's how he gets by. Fyodor Dostoevsky
Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education. Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both. Abraham Flexner
Barack Obama quote: "The best anti-poverty program is a world-class education."
The best anti-poverty program is a world-class education. Barack Obama
Eleanor Roosevelt quote: "All of life is a constant education."
All of life is a constant education. Eleanor Roosevelt
Leo Tolstoy quote: "To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools,..."
To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools. Leo Tolstoy
Man...is a tame or civilized animal; never the less, he requires proper instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals he becomes the most divine and most civilized; but if he be insufficiently or ill- educated he is the most savage of earthly creatures. Plato
