The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man to forget that he is a blockhead.
Still reading but learning a lot about true education and the process of guiding our children in their educational pursuits.
We need to create schools that are organized to meet the needs of the kids they serve instead of what we've been doing. We expect kids to adjust to the schools and if they can't, we say something is wrong with the child - instead of focusing on engagement and nurturing the love of learning in kids.
Education is all paint - it does not alter the nature of the wood that lies under it, it only improves its appearance a little. Why I dislike education so much is, that it makes all people alike, until you have examined into them; and it sometimes is so long before you get to see under the varnish!
The armoury of having any academic education does not necessarily set you up for being a good or better actor.
Education is the motor-force of revolution.
We ought to deprecate the hazard attending ardent and susceptible minds, from being too strongly, and too early prepossessed in favor of other political systems, before they are capable of appreciating their own.
Unless we teach our children peace, somebody else will teach them violence.
Experience of actual fact either teaches fools or abolishes them.
True education is to learn how to think, not what to think. If you know how to think, if you really have that capacity, then you are a free human being-free of dogmas, superstitions, ceremonies-and therefore you can find out what religion is.
The Bible is the best of books, and I wish it were in the hands of every one. It is indispensable to the safety and permanence of our institutions. A free government can not exist without religion and morals, and there cannot be morals without religion. Especially should the Bible be placed in the hands of the young. It is the best school book in the world. I would that all our people were brought up under the influence of that holy book.
What is education but a process by which a person begins to learn how to learn?
The books that help you the most are those which make you think the most.
The graduations hang on the wall, but they never really helped us at all.
I'm from Brooklyn. I grew up very poor- seven people, four rooms. My dad had no education.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
When I was a child, the Earth was said to be two billion years old. Now scientists say it's four and a half billion. So that makes me two and a half billion.
A society that does not give importance to education cannot progress. Let there be any Government, it must have a vision to make India shine in the field of education.
Education has really only one basic factor: one must want it.
My education was doing good plays and also stinkers. When you do a stinker, you learn how to act. I like having to audition. It's nice to do rehearsals. But it's with an audience that you get to love it!
