Quotes about education

  • Education is the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the score with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool of every faculty--how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes. (Autry Alan)
  • Education is not a discipline at all. Half vocational, half an emptiness dressed up in garments borrowed from philosophy, psychology, literature. (Autry Alan)
  • The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration. (Autry Alan)
  • Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion. (Autry Alan)
  • It is possible to store the mind with a million facts and still be entirely uneducated. (Autry Alan)
  • Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave. (Autry Alan)
  • We are only now on the threshold of knowing the range of the educability of man-the perfectibility of man. We have never addressed ourselves to this problem before. (Autry Alan)
  • The regeneration of society is the regeneration of society by individual education. (Autry Alan)
  • Parents have a right to insist that godless evolution not be taught to their children. (Autry Alan)
  • The mark of a true MBA is that he is often wrong but seldom in doubt. (Autry Alan)
  • We must do better or perish as the nation we know today. (Autry Alan)
  • Education must have two foundations --morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defense for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists. (Autry Alan)
  • Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know. (Autry Alan)
  • Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education. (Autry Alan)
  • Getting things done is not always what is most important. There is value in allowing others to learn, even if the task is not accomplished as quickly, efficiently or effectively. (Autry Alan)
  • It is no small mischief to a boy, that many of the best years of his life should be devoted to the learning of what can never be of any real use to any human being. His mind is necessarily rendered frivolous and superficial by the long habit of attaching importance to words instead of things; to sound instead of sense. (Autry Alan)
  • Better build schoolrooms for the boy, than cells and gibbets for the man. (Autry Alan)
  • Education is the fire-proofer of emotions. (Autry Alan)
  • The real object of education is to have a man in the condition of continually asking questions. (Autry Alan)
  • Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself. (Autry Alan)
  • The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time; it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking. (Autry Alan)
  • On the education of the people of this country the fate of the country depends. (Autry Alan)
  • Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours. (Autry Alan)
  • Upon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends. (Autry Alan)
  • There is no education like adversity. (Autry Alan)
