Quotations About This Subject

quotation	author	source	spoken by character (if from fictional work)
The highest result of education is tolerance.	Helen Keller
Say not, when I have leisure I will study; you may not have leisure.		The Mishnah
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.	Plutarch
Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.	Eleanor Roosevelt
The most difficult thing in the world is to know how to do a thing and to watch somebody else doing it wrong, without comment.	T. H. White
There is only one thing for it then -- to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it...	T. H. White	The Sword in the Stone	Merlin

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.	Maria Montessori
Adults who still derive childlike pleasure from hanging gifts of a ready-made education on the Christmas tree of a child waiting outside the door to life do not realize how unreceptive they are making the children to everything that constitutes the true surprise of life.	Karl Kraus
Education is the progressive realization of our ignorance.	Albert Einstein
