| Man is the supreme Talisman. Lack of a proper education hath, however, deprived him of that which he doth inherently possess. Through a word proceeding out of the mouth of God he was called into being; by one word more he was guided to recognize the Source of his education; by yet another word his station and destiny were safeguarded. The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value. Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom. | Baha'u'llah (1817-) |

| These people marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an education and now we've got these knuckleheads walking around. | Bill Cosby (1937-) |

| If you can control a man’s thinking, you don’t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don’t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don’t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one. | Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950) |
| Students must have initiative; they should not be mere imitators. They must learn to think and act for themselves--and be free. | Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) |
| Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity? | Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) |
| Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours. | Cesar Chavez (1927-1993) |
| Try not to have a good time...this is supposed to be educational. | Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) |
| If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people | Chinese Proverbs |
| The fountain of information lies at your fingertips and is accessible anywhere at anytime and schools need to emphasize this. We are no longer in a world where you need to go seek enlightenment, it is everywhere. | Christopher Myers |
| Every board member should have the right to stand up and vote the way they believe in. Just because the board is not voting 5-0 doesn't mean it's dysfunctional. | Christopher Myers |
| Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything. | Chuck Palahniuk (1961-) |
| I will now teach my son Increase (and others of my children) the way of raising a lesson out of every verse in his reading of the Bible; and of turning it into a Prayer; and engage him (and them) unto a daily Course in reading the Bible in such a way | Cotton Mather (1663-) |
| The more scholastically educated a man is generally, the more he is an emotional boor. | D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) |
| It is a great honor and privilege to serve on the Board of Curators. | David Wasinger |
| In much of the West, the well educated have been taught to believe that they can know nothing and that they can draw no independent conclusions about truth, unless they cite a study and "experts" have affirmed it. "Studies show" is to the modern secular college graduate what "Scripture says" is to the religious fundamentalist. | Dennis Prager (1948-) |
| One of the great mind destroyers of college education is the belief that if it's very complex, it's very profound. | Dennis Prager (1948-) |
| Grades are a problem. On the most general level, they're an explicit acknowledgment that what you're doing is insufficiently interesting or rewarding for you to do it on your own. Nobody ever gave you a grade for learning how to play, how to ride a bicycle, or how to kiss. One of the best ways to destroy love for any of these activities would be through the use of grades, and the coercion and judgment they represent. Grades are a cudgel to bludgeon the unwilling into doing what they don't want to do, an important instrument in inculcating children into a lifelong subservience to whatever authority happens to be thrust over them. | Derrick Jensen |
| I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it's just depressing to me. The poor little kids. | Dolly Parton (1946-) |
| I've come to the frightening conclusioin that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It's my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized. | Dr. Haim Ginott |
| My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. | Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) |
| Education is the cheap defense of nations | Edmund Burke (1729-1797) |
| The giving of love is an education in itself | Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) |
| Education makes machines which act like men and produces men who act like machines | Erich Fromm (1900-1980) |
| Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding. | Ezra Pound (1885-1972) |
| Education is an art. | Frank McCourt (1930-) |

| Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another. | G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) |

| Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. | G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936) |

| Education can and should do much influence social, moral and intellectual discovery by stimulating critical attitudes of thought in the young | George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) |
| A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. | George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) |
| Education is a state-controlled manufactory of echoes. | George Norman Douglas (1865-1957) |
| I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30. | Groucho Marx (1890-1977) |
| Upon books the collective education of the race depends; they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought. | Harry S Truman (1884-1972) |
| I have found the best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it. | Harry S Truman (1884-1972) |
| The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality | Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956) |
| A self-taught man usually has a poor teacher and a worse student. | Henry Youngman (1906-1998) |
| No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him. | Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) |
| Every age, every culture, every custom and tradition has its own character, its own weakness and its own strength, its beauties and cruelties; it accepts certain sufferings as matters of course, puts up patiently with certain evils. Human life is reduced to real suffering, to hell, only when two ages, two cultures and religions overlap. | Hermann Hesse (1877-1962) |
| Knowledge without education is but armed injustice. | George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) |

| Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. | James A. Garfield (1831-1881) |
| Education is indoctrination if you're white - subjugation if you're black. | James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987) |
| A man's errors are his portals of discovery. | James Joyce (1882-1941) |
| Learned institutions ought to be favorite objects with every free people. They throw that light over the public mind which is the best security against crafty and dangerous encroachments on the public liberty. | James Madison (1751-1836) |
| It was in making education not only common to all, but in some sense compulsory on all, that the destiny of the free republics of America was practically settled | James Russell Lowell (1819-1891) |
| The training of children is a profession, where we must know how to waste time in order to save it. | Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) |
| We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. | Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) |
| A good upbringing consists in hiding how much you think of yourself, and how little you think of others. | Jean Cocteau (1889-1963) |
| If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around | Jim Rohn |
| Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. | John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917-1963) |
| Education is the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent | John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) |
| The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work. | John Ruskin (1819-1900) |
| I’ve concluded that genius is as common as dirt. We suppress our genius only because we haven’t yet figured out how to manage a population of educated men and women. The solution, I think, is simple and glorious. Let them manage themselves. | John Taylor Gatto |
| The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursuing his own education | John W. Gardner (1912-2002) |
| Parents should conduct their arguments in quiet, respectful tones, but in a foreign language. You'd be surprised what an inducement that is to the education of children. | Judith S. Marin |

| After a feller gits famous it don't take long fer some one t' bob up that used t' set by him at school | Kin Hubbard (1868-1930) |
| Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading man, and studying all the various editions of them. | Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773) |
| Anarchists know that a long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society, hence they do not believe in vote begging, nor political campaigns, but rather in the development of self-thinking individuals. | Lucy Parsons |
| The long path from material through function to creative work has only one goal: to create order out of the desperate confusion of our time. We must have order, allocating to each thing it's proper place and giving to each thing is due according to it's nature. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| Let us guide our students over the road of discipline from materials, through function, to creative work. Let us lead them into the healthy world of primitive building methods, where there was meaning in every stroke of an axe, expression in every bite of chisel. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| And just as we acquaint ourselves with materials, just as we must understand functions, so we must become familiar with the psychological and spiritual factors of our day. No cultural activity is possible otherwise; for we are dependent on the spirit of our time. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| Where can we find greater structural clarity than in the wooden buildings of the old. Where else can we find such unity of material, construction and form? Here the wisdom of whole generations is stored. What feelings for material and what power of expression there is in these buildings! What warmth and beauty they have! They seem to be echoes of old songs. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| If teaching has any purpose, it is to implant true insight and responsibility. Education must lead us from irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgement. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| Means must be subsidiary to ends and to our desire for dignity and value. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure of us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life. | Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) |
| Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. | Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 f.Kr.-43 f.Kr.) |
| Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war. | Maria Montessori (1870-1952) |
| We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life. | Maria Montessori (1870-1952) |
| The length of your education is less important than its breadth, and the length of your life is less important than its depth | Marilyn vos Savant (1946-) |

| It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength. | Maya Angelou (1928-) |
| Education is a lifelong experience. Experience is a lifelong education. Education plus experience equals expertise. | Michael Bugeja |
| 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 (1533-1592) |
| The main failure of education is that it has not prepared people to comprehend matters concerning human destiny. | Norman Cousins (1912-1990) |
| The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts but learning how to make facts live. | Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) |
| Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. | Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) |
| True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility. | Philip Pullman (1946-) |
| The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life | Platon (427 f.Kr.-348 f.Kr.) |
| Someday, in the distant future, our grandchildren's grandchildren will develop a new equivalent of our classrooms. They will spend many hours in front of boxes with fires glowing within. May they have the wisdom to know the difference between light and knowledge. | Platon (427 f.Kr.-348 f.Kr.) |
| 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 (1927-1989) |
| The object of education is to give man the unity of truth. Formerly, when life was simple, all the different elements of man were in complete harmony. But when there came the separation of the intellect from the spiritual and the physical, the school | Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) |
| The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence. | Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) |
| Education is all a matter of building bridges | Ralph Ellison (1914-) |
| The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. | Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) |
| The education of the will is the object of our existence. | Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) |
| The man who can make hard things easy is the educator | Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) |
| Education is hanging around until you've caught on. | Robert Frost (1874-1963) |
| Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper. | Robert Frost (1874-1963) |
| I am bourgeois to the core and parochial beyond belief, and yet I am drawn to art and scholarship as my anti-type, my shadow, the voice of distinction I never possessed. I don't think of myself as a teacher so much as an impersonator of profundities, inhabiting the wisdom of texts with the naked confidence that the value of the genius I espouse transcends the particular fraud that I am the one espousing it. And it doesn't even matter to me that no one seems to be listening; those who listen that I don't know about are enough to keep me going--soaring on the wings of borrowed metaphors. | Robert Inchausti (1952-) |
| The essence of teaching, the soul of the art, is being brave enough, psychologically unencumbered enough, to see exactly what is taking place in the minds of your students at any given moment and then--like a good psychotherapist--speak to and through their defenses to uncover the true promise of the lesson, its hidden meaning. This significance will almost always be different from what you originally took it to be and at odds with the lesson plan. But that is what makes teaching a creative act. One doesn't just dispense information--one brings insight into being. I am surprised by what I "teach" all the time. | Robert Inchausti (1952-) |
| Kids who are in school just visit life sometimes, and then they have to stop to do homework or go to sleep early or get to school on time. They're constantly reminded they are preparing "for real life," while being isolated from it. | Sandra Dodd |
| We can teach from our experience, but we cannot teach experience. | Sasha Azevedo |
| Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel | Sokrates (470 f.Kr.-399 f.Kr.) |
| Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man | Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) |
| Those who trust us educate us. | T.S. Eliot (1888-1965) |
| Don't ever let anybody teach you to think; it is the curse of the world. | Theodore H. White (1915-1986) |
| 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 (1858-1919) |
| It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a super inducing of an artificial organization upon the natural organization of the body. | Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895) |
| To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education | Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826) |
| Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty. | Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826) |
| To be educated, a person doesn't have to know much or be informed, but he or she does have to have been exposed vulnerably to the transformative events of an engaged human life | Sir Thomas More (1477-1535) |
| When we are planning for posterity, we ought to remember that virtue is not hereditary | Thomas Paine (1737-1809) |
| I never completed high school and I am very rich and very successful. | Tre Cool |
| The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others. | Tryon Edwards |
| Common sense is in spite of, not as the result of education. | Victor Hugo (1802-1885) |
| Education is the mother of leadership. | Wendell L. Willkie (1892-1944) |
| Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance | Will Durant (1885-1981) |
| Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. | Will Durant (1885-1981) |
| The eagle never lost so much time, as when he submitted to learn of the crow. | William Blake (1757-1827) |
| Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. | William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) |
| The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist | William James (1842-1910) |
| The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one. | William James (1842-1910) |
| If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education | William Jennings Bryan (1860-1925) |
| My education was interrupted only by my schooling | Winston Churchill (1874-1965) |
| The poor girl does not know how to have a conversation. Unfortunately, she does know how to speak. | Winston Churchill (1874-1965) |
