Daily Education Quotes and Commentary
Click through to see or subscribe to my daily education quote and commentary on my blog.- "Not everything worthwhile can be measured, and not everything that can be measured is worthwhile."
- "The aim of education should be to teach us how to think, rather than what to think. To improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, rather than to load the memory with thoughts of other men." - Bill Beattie
- "One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is a vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child." - Carl Jung
- "Remember always that you have not only the right to be an individual; you have an obligation to be one. You cannot make any useful contribution in life unless you do this." - Eleanor Roosevelt
- "Nine tenths of education is encouragement." - Anatole France
- "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair.
- "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." - Martin Luther King, Jr.
- "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." - Unknown
- "Almost all education has a political motive." - Bertrand Russell
- "I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays, and have things arranged for them, that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas." - Agatha Christie
- "Human beings are curious by nature." - Aristotle
