Educations Quotes (page 47)

What are works of art for? to educate, to be standards. To produce is of little use unless what we produce is known, is widely known, the wider known the better, for it is by being known that it works, it influences, it does its duty, it does good. We must try, then, to be known, aim at it, take means to it. And this without puffing in the process or pride in the success. Gerard Manley Hopkins
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "The problem with educating stupid people was that they didn’t..."
The problem with educating stupid people was that they didn’t know they were stupid. The same went for curing crazy people. Chuck Palahniuk
It's only when you have grazed on the lower slopes of your own ignorance and begun to understand the great vistas of nonknowledge that you have, that you can claim to have been educated at all. Christopher Hitchens
Shugendo means: “the way of the art of accumulating experience” - he replied, revealing that his interests go beyond the variety of insects in the region - By disciplining one’s body to accept everything nature has to offer; in this way you will also educate your soul for that which God has to offer. Paulo Coelho
State propaganda, when supported by the educated classes and when no deviation is permitted from it, can have a big effect. It was a lesson learned by Hitler and many others, and it has been pursued to this day. Noam Chomsky
We have to grasp, as Marx and Adam Smith did, that corporations are not concerned with the common good. They exploit, pollute, impoverish, repress, kill, and lie to make money. They throw poor people out of homes, let the uninsured die, wage useless wars for profit, poison and pollute the ecosystem, slash social assistance programs, gut public education, trash the global economy, plunder the U.S. Treasury and crush all popular movements that seek justice for working men and women. They... Chris Hedges
A public-school system, if it means the providing of free education for those who desire it, is a noteworthy and beneficent achievement of modern times; but when once it becomes monopolistic it is the most perfect instrument for tyranny which has yet been devised. Freedom of thought in the middle ages was combated by the Inquisition, but the modern method is far more effective? (1923) John Gresham Machen
The entire object of true education is to make people not merely do the right things, but enjoy the right things? not merely industrious, but to love industry? not merely learned, but to love knowledge? not merely pure, but to love purity? not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. John Ruskin
True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character. David O. McKay
Benjamin Franklin quote: "The only thing that is more expensive than education is..."
The only thing that is more expensive than education is ignorance. Benjamin Franklin
Sidney Hook quote: "Everyone who remembers their own educational experience..."
Everyone who remembers their own educational experience remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. Sidney Hook
The 'polymath' had already died out by the close of the eighteenth century, and in the following century intensive education replaced extensive, so that by the end of it the specialist had evolved. The consequence is that today everyone is a mere technician, even the artist... Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Universal education has created an immense class of what I may call the New Stupid, hungering for certainty yet unable to find it in the traditional myths and their rationalizations. Aldous Huxley
I grew up in the midst of poverty but every black kid that I knew could read and write. We have to talk about the fact that we cannot educate for critical consciousness if we have a group of people who cannot access Fanon, Cabral, or Audre Lorde because they can’t read or write. How did Malcolm X radicalize his consciousness? He did it through books. If you deprive working-class and poor black people of access to reading and writing, you are making them that much farther removed from being a... Bell Hooks
The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education, or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages; the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage; neither our wisdom nor our learning; neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country; it measures everything, in short, except that which makes life... John F. Kennedy
