Quotes:

The paradox of education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.
View quotes by James Baldwin

Education is an admirable thing, but it is worth noting that there is nothing worth knowing that can be taught
View quotes by Oscar Wilde

The quality of education that children receive early in life has a bearing on their later life that we may never fully understand.
View quotes by Miguel Ferrer

The Scots should not get free university education subsidised by us in England. They shouldn't get free nursing care.
View quotes by Boris Johnson

The idea that Gordon Brown goes round and tells other ministers what to do, let me tell you, I'm the secretary of state for education, nobody comes and tells me what to do
View quotes by Alan Johnson

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
View quotes by W C Fields

I know of no safe repository of the ultimate power of society but the people. And if we think them not enlightened enough, the remedy is not to take power from them, but to inform them by education.
View quotes by Thomas Jefferson

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.
View quotes by Theodore Roosevelt

Everything hinges on education. Without it, you can't advocate for proper health care, for housing, for a civil rights bill that ensures your rights
View quotes by Susan Taylor

My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
View quotes by George Washington

Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones.
View quotes by Charlotte Bronte

Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.
View quotes by Benjamin Disraeli

I think that there's this prejudice, that people that have a college education are more intelligent than people that don't.
View quotes by Casey Affleck

Reading is an escape, an education, a delving into the brain of another human being on such an intimate level that every nuance of thought, every snapping of synapse, every slippery desire of the author is laid open before you like, well, a book.
View quotes by Cynthia Heimel

Times are tough but they are tough because the government is trying to do the right thing, whether on public service reform, education, health, anti-social behaviour and welfare, or in counter-terrorism
View quotes by Tony Blair

A quality education has the power to transform societies in a single generation, provide children with the protection they need from the hazards of poverty, labor exploitation and disease, and given them the knowledge, skills, and confidence to reach their full potential.
View quotes by Audrey Hepburn

There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.
View quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

I consider a human soul without education like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties till the skill of the polisher fetches out the colours, makes the surface shine, and discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and vein that runs through the body of it.
View quotes by Joseph Addison

Life isn't all beer and skittles; but beer and skittles or something better of the same sort, must form a good part of every Englishman's education
View quotes by Thomas Hughes

Most people, I believe, think that you need a God to explain the existence of the world, and especially the existence of life. They are wrong, but our education system is such that many people don't know it
View quotes by Richard Dawkins
