A child born today in the United Kingdom stands a ten times greater chance of being admitted to a mental hospital than to a university ... This can be taken as an indication that we are driving our children mad more effectively than we are genuinely educating them. Perhaps it is our way of educating them that is driving them mad. |
R. D. Laing |

A good upbringing consists in hiding how much you think of yourself, and how little you think of others. |
Jean Cocteau |

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad. |
Theodore Roosevelt |
|
A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death. |
Albert Einstein |

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't. |
Anatole France |

By education I mean that training in excellence from youth upward which makes a man passionately desire to be a perfect citizen, and teaches him to rule, and to obey, with justice. This is the only education which deserves the name. |
Plato |
|
By education most have been misled; so they believe, because they were bred. The priest continues where the nurse began, and thus the child imposes on the man. |
John Dryden |
|
Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education. |
Victor Hugo |

Do not feed children on maudlin sentimentalism or dogmatic religion; give them nature |

Don't let schooling interfere with your education. |
Mark Twain |

Don't try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed. |

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. |
