Education Quotes

The things taught in schools and colleges are not an
education, but the means of education....Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data,
facts, skills, or abilities -- that's training or instruction --
but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed...
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...One of the greatest problems of our time is
that many are schooled but few are educated....Thomas Moore.

Education is the ability to listen to
almost anything without losing your
temper or your self-confidence....Robert Frost.

Education is not the taming or domestication of the soul's
raw passions -- not suppressing them or excising them,
which would deprive the soul of its energy --
but forming and informing them as art....Allen Bloom.

Those who educate children are more to be honored than
those who produce them; for these only gave them life,
those the art of living well....Aristotle.
