EDUCATION, QUOTES

Use them in the middle of your essays. Use them to begin Ethics answers/case studies.

My personal favourite is the last quote, and you could develop this idea(not the exact quote) in a paragraph or two in essay.

-"Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation."

Walter Cronkite

• "Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence."

Robert Frost

• "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all."

Aristotle

-"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts."

C.S. Lewis

-"Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon".

E.M. Forster

• "Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones."

Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

-"He who opens a school door, closes a prison".

Victor Hugo

-"We spend the first year of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down. There's something wrong there."

Neil deGrasse Tyson

-Learning is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and a provision in old age.

Aristotle

"We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and “success”, defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death."

Chris Hedges, Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle
