In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.
A liberal education
I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.
Education aims to give you...
Education aims to give you a boost up the ladder of knowledge. Too often, it just gives you a cramp on one of its rungs.
Education is an admirable thing...
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing worth knowing can be taught.
To me education is...
To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion.
Every time you stop a school...
Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
My idea of education...
My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.
It is the mark...
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
If a man is a fool...
If a man is a fool, you don't train him out of being a fool by sending him to university. You merely turn him into a trained fool, ten times more dangerous.
The aim of education...
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.
Children have to be educated...
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
Finish your homework...
My parents told me, "Finish your dinner. People in China and India are starving." I tell my daughters, "Finish your homework. People in India and China are starving for your job."
A learned man
A learned man is an idler who kills time with study. Beware of his false knowledge: it is more dangerous than ignorance.
Reading made Don Quixote a gentleman. Believing what he read made him mad.
Education should be exercise
Education should be exercise; it has become massage.
