| He is to be educated because he is a man,
and not because he is to make shoes, nails, and pins.
William Ellery
Chann
A wise man is one who finally realizes that
there are some questions one can ask which may have no answers.
Anon
Learning makes the wise wiser and the fool
more foolish.
John Ray
Education is that which discloses to the
wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding.
Ambrose Bierce
There is nothing so stupid as an educated
man, if you get off the thing that he was educated in.
Will Rogers
You cannot teach a man anything; you can
only help him find it within himself.
Galileo Galilei
Education is an admirable thing, but it is
well to remember from time to time that nothing that is
worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
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.
Oscar Wilde
I have never let my schooling interfere with
my education.
Mark Twain
Soap and education are not as sudden as a
massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.
Mark Twain
In the first place God made idiots. This
was for practice. Then he made school boards.
Mark Twain
The vanity of teaching doth oft tempt a man
to forget that he is a blockhead.
George Savile
I am inclined to think that one's education
has been in vain if one fails to learn that most schoolmasters
are idiots.
Hesketh Pearson
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly,
science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence
University education.

Shaw
I'm still waiting for some college to come
up with a march protesting student ignorance.
Paul Larmer
