We boast of our system of education, but why stop at schoolmasters and schoolhouses? We are all schoolmasters, and our schoolhouse is the universe. To attend chiefly to the desk or schoolhouse while we neglect the scenery in which it is placed is absurd. If we do not look out we shall find our find schoolhouse standing in a cow-yard at last.
The most important education you get is your own - the one you learn in solitude.
Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health.
The more gifted by nature is a man, the more is deplorable the abuse that he does by using them to shameful ends. A swindler (or crook) of higher condition is more blameworthy than a vulgar scoundrel; an intelligent eveil-doer, having benefited from a higher education, represent a more saddening phenomenon ("phénomène", Fr. ) than an unfortune illiterate fellow having commited an offence.
Whose school-hours are all the days and nights of our existence.
Education is suffering from narration sickness.
Leadership is not about experience, education or talent. It's about choosing to lead.
EDUCATION IS VITAL TO DISCERN BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND LEARNING
The problem of far greater importance remains to be solved. Rather than build a world in which we shall all live well, we must stop building one in which it will be impossible to live at all.
I am opposed to the use of public funds for private education.
What greater work is there than training the mind and forming the habits of the young?
One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn't do.
'I don't know' has become 'I don't know yet'.
The investigation of the meaning of words is the beginning of education.
Not with whom you are born, but with whom you are bred.
Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.
In England. . . education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and would probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
To suggest is to create; to describe is to destroy.
What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.
There's no other way to learn about it, except through documentaries. I encourage documentarians to continue telling stories about World War II. I think documentaries are the greatest way to educate an entire generation that doesn't often look back to learn anything about the history that provided a safe haven for so many of us today. Documentaries are the first line of education, and the second line of education is dramatization, such as The Pacific.
