Quotes about education
The better part of every man's education is that which he gives himself.
James Russell Lowell
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
The world's great men have not commonly been great scholars, nor its great scholars great men.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
There is nothing as stupid as an educated man if you get him off the thing he was educated in.
Will Rogers
Everybody is ignorant, only on different subjects.
Will Rogers
A man learns by two things. One is reading. The other is association with smarter people.

St. Thomas Aquinas warned teachers they must never dig a ditch in front of a student that they failed to fill in. To raise doubts and to ever seek and never find is to be in opposition to education and progress. To discuss freely all sides of all questions without values is to ensure the creation of a generation of uninformed and talkative minds.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
In America we created at the local level and administered at the local level for many years the greatest public school system in the world. Now through something called federal aid to education, we have something called federal interference, and education has been the loser. Quality has declined as federal intervention has increased.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
Don't let your learning lead to knowledge; let your learning lead to action.
