Educational progress is a national concern; education is a private one.

The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values.

Must we always teach our children with books? Let them look at the stars and the mountains above. Let them look at the waters and the trees and flowers on earth. Then they will begin to think, and to think is the beginning of a real education.

How is it that little children are so intelligent and men are so stupid? It must be education that does it.

Knowledge is dead; the school, however, serves the living.

We all missed a lot. We'd all do well to start again, preferably with kindergarten.

Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.

It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge.

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
