Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

My favourite definition of 'Intellectual' is: 'A person whose education surpasses their intelligence.'

Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but though his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.

Never let your schoolin' interfere with your education.

Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.

Drop out of school before your mind rots from exposure to our mediocre educational system. Forget about the Senior Prom and go to the library and educate yourself if you've got any guts. Some of you like Pep rallies and plastic robots who tell you what to read. Forget I mentioned it. This song has no message. Rise for the flag salute. Zappa's liner notes for 'Freak Out'

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.

Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul; on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful; and also because he who has received this education of the inner being will most shrewdly perceive omissions or faults in art and nature, and with a true taste, while he praises and rejoices over and receives into his soul the good, and becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and hate the bad, now in the days of his youth, even before he is able to know the reason why; and when reason comes he will recognise and salute the friend with whom his education has made him long familiar.

I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy, accompanied by an educational system which would be oriented toward social goals.

The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.

The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how to behave when we don't know what to do.

Education has for its object the formation of character. To curb restive propensities, to awaken dormant sentiments, to strengthen the perceptions, and cultivate the tastes, to encourage this feeling and repress that, so as finally to develop the child into a man of well proportioned and harmonious nature—this is alike the aim of parent and teacher.

The great aim of education is not knowledge but action.

Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in. Communication to the People of Sangamo County (9 March 1832)

Cauliflower is nothing but Cabbage with a College Education.

Education is the great engine of personal development. It is through education that the daughter of a peasant can become a doctor, that the son of a mineworker can become the head of the mine, that a child of farmworkers can become the president of a great nation. It is what we make out of what we have, not what we are given, that separates one person from another.

Unless we do something quickly about teaching kids about our dying animals, there isn’t going to be much left, if anything, for the generations that follow.

I’d love to live until I’m 80. I want to see my daughter grow up; I want to love my wife. I hope I live a long and healthy life; but if I don’t, I’ve had such a wonderful, fulfilled life and I get what a lot of other people don’t get, which is to educate people about conservation. There’s my reason for living, my passion. This is why God created me.

The women in my life have all been librarians, English teachers, or booksellers. If they couldn't speak pidgin Tolstoy, articulate Henry James, or give me directions to Usher and Ox, it was no go. I have always longed for education, and pillow talk's the best.

I don't think anyone should be educated sexually. There's far too many people on the planet. If we could hush it up for a few years, that would help.
