Educations Quotes (page 45)

American grammar doesn't have the sturdiness of British grammar (a British advertising man with a proper education can make magazine copy for ribbed condoms sound like the Magna goddam Carta), but it has its own scruffy charm Stephen King
To educate yourself for the feeling of gratitude means to take nothing for granted, but to always seek out and value the kind that will stand behind the action. Nothing that is done for you is a matter of course. Everything originates in a will for the good, which is directed at you. Train yourself never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude. Albert Schweitzer
There should be a class on sexeducation, a real sex-education class. There should be a class on police brutality. There should be a class on apartheid. There should be a classon why people are hungry. But there are not. There are classes on gym. Physical education. Let's learn volleyball. Tupac Shakur
The main aim of education should be to send children out into the world with a reasonably sized anthology in their heads so that, while seated on the lavatory, waiting in doctor's surgeries, on stationary trains or watching interviews with politicians, they have something interesting to think about. John Mortimer
In hospitals I feel palpable comfort. I feel the competence, the expertise, so much education and money, all of the supplies sterile, everything packaged, sealed tight. My fears evaporate when the automatic doors shush open. Dave Eggers
You are educated. Yourcertification is in yourdegree. You may think ofit as the ticket to the goodlife. Let me ask you to think of analternative. Think of it as yourticket to change the world. Tom Brokaw
John Randolph quote: "All of us have two educations; one which we receive from..."
All of us have two educations; one which we receive from others; another and more valuable; which we give ourselves. John Randolph
What does seem to me poisonous, what breeds a type of patriotism that is pernicious if it lasts but not likely to last long in an educated adult, is the perfectly serious indoctrination of the young in knowably false or biased history - the heroic legend drably disguised as text-book fact. With this creeps in the tacit assumption that other nations have not equally their heroes; perhaps even the belief - surely it is very bad biology - that we can literally 'inherit' tradition. C. S. Lewis
Isaac Asimov quote: "People think of education as something they can finish."
People think of education as something they can finish. Isaac Asimov
As for my own truncated secondary education, my head was in the clouds as my mom would say, or if you asked my father, up my ass. Michael J. Fox
Raymond Chandler quote: "A classical education saves you from being fooled by..."
A classical education saves you from being fooled by pretentiousness, which is what most current fiction is too full of. Raymond Chandler
[o]f course like every other man of intelligence and education I do believe in organic evolution. It surprises me that at this late date such questions should be raised. Woodrow Wilson
Contrary to what some folks would have us believe, it is not tragic, even if undesirable, for a person to leave a liberal arts education not having read major works from this canon. Their lives are not ending. And the exciting dimension of knowledge is that we can learn a work without formally studying it. If a student graduates without reading Shakespeare and then reads or studies this work later, it does not delegitimize whatever formal course of study that was completed. Bell Hooks
Moreover, there was what Amy called “the cocksuckers’ contingent of the country”—what Danny knew as the dumber-than-dog-shit element, those bully patriots—and they were too set in their ways or too poorly educated (or both) to see beyond the ceaseless flag-waving and nationalistic bluster. John Irving
What happened to your foot?"I had a little disagreement with an eagle --stupid birds, eagles. He couldn't tell the difference between a hawk and a pigeon. I had to educate him. He bit me while I was tearing out a sizable number of his wing feathers."Uncle," Polgara said reproachfully."He started it. David Eddings
