| The only thing experience teaches us is
that experience teaches us nothing.
Andre Maurois
A college degree does not lessen the length
of your ears; it only conceals it.
Elbert Hubbard
He was so learned that he could name a horse
in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride
on.
Benjamin Franklin
Plasticene and self-expression will not solve
the problems of education. Nor will technology and vocational
guidance; nor the classics and the Hundred Best Books.
Aldous Huxley
Perhaps the most valuable result of all education
is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to
do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not.
Walter Bagehot
The result of the educative process is capacity
for further education.
John Dewey
The things taught in colleges and schools
are not an education, but the means of education.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I'm sure the reason such young nitwits are
produced in our schools is because they have no contact
with anything of any use in everyday life.
Petronius Arbiter
Real education must ultimately be limited
to men who insist on knowing–the rest is mere sheep-herding.
Ezra Loomis Pound
Teachers are people who start things they
never see finished, and for which they never get thanks
until it is too late.
Max Forman
The object of teaching a child is to enable
him to get along without a teacher.
Elbert Hubbard
I am not a teacher; only a fellow traveler
of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead–ahead of myself
as well as of you.
George Bernard
Shaw
There is less flogging in our great schools
than formerly–but then less is learned there; so what the
boys get at one end they lose at the other.
Samuel Johnson
It has been said that we have not had the
three R's in America, we had the six R's; remedial readin',
remedial 'ritin' and remedial 'rithmetic.
Robert M. Hutchins
Education is the process of casting false
pearls before real swine.
Prof. Irwin Edman
