5 décembre QUOTATIONS ABOUT EDUCATION The
aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what
to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for
ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men. ~Bill
Beattie The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows. ~Sydney J. Harris Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. ~Albert Einstein An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. ~Author Unknown It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. ~Robert G. Ingersoll Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. ~G.M. Trevelyan Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding. ~Ezra Pound Education should be exercise; it has become massage. ~Martin H. Fischer The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. ~Robert Maynard Hutchins Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. ~Will Durant Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it. ~William Haley I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education. ~Tallulah Bankhead A child educated only at school is an uneducated child. ~George Santayana
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong. ~R. Baker What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook. ~Henry David Thoreau To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion. ~Muriel Spark, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else. ~Cornelius Vanderbilt Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. ~Aristotle Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. ~G.K. Chesterton In the education of children there is nothing like alluring the interest and affection; otherwise you only make so many asses laden with books. ~Michel de Montaigne Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. ~Robert Frost Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves. ~Abbé Dimnet, Art of Thinking, 1928 Learning, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious. ~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary The modern world belongs to the half-educated, a rather difficult class, because they do not realize how little they know. ~William R. Inge It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. ~Aristotle I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. ~Mark Twain When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course. ~Peter Drucker If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous. ~Desmond Bagley Education is the movement from darkness to light. ~Allan Bloom Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants. ~John W. Gardner There is nothing so stupid as the educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in. ~Will Rogers Education is not filling a pail but the lighting of a fire. ~William Butler Yeats Education, n. That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding. ~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions. ~Martin H. Fischer Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve. ~Roger Lewin They say that we are better educated than our parents' generation. What they mean is that we go to school longer. It is not the same thing. ~Richard Yates I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated. ~Al McGuire The tragedy of education is played in two scenes - incompetent pupils facing competent teachers and incompetent teachers facing competent pupils. ~Martin H. Fischer If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world. ~Heinrich Heine One attraction of Latin is that you can immerse yourself in the poems of Horace and Catullus without fretting over how to say, "Have a nice day." ~Peter Brodie Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself. ~John Dewey Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent. ~John Maynard Keynes Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know. ~Daniel J. Boorstin, Democracy and Its Discontents I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly. ~Michel Eyquem de Montaigne Education is the process of driving a set of prejudices down your throats. ~Martin H. Fischer It doesn't make much difference what you study, as long as you don't like it. ~Finley Peter Dunne Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't. ~Pete Seeger We are students of words: we are shut up in schools, and colleges, and recitation-rooms, for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bag of wind, a memory of words, and do not know a thing. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson Intelligence appears to be the thing that enables a man to get along without education. Education enables a man to get along without the use of his intelligence. ~Albert Edward Wiggam The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas. ~George Santayana You can get all A's and still flunk life. ~Walker Percy The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living. ~Will Rogers My parents told me, "Finish your dinner. People in China and India are starving." I tell my daughters, "Finish your homework. People in India and China are starving for your job." ~Thomas L. Friedman |
