Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. - Quintus Tullius Cicero Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. - Marcus Aurelius Persons without education certainly do not want [lack] either acuteness or strength of mind in what concerns themselves, or in things immediately within their observation; but they have no power of abstraction--they see their objects always near, never in the horizon. - William Hazlitt Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously. - Gilbert K Chesterton Genius without education is like silver in the mine. - Benjamin Franklin Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability. - Marcus Tullius Cicero I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and...

What is education but a conditioning of the mind to a society and a way of life. - Louis L Amour Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people? - Beah Richards

Vocational education programs have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide; they build self-confidence and leadership skills by allowing students to utilize their unique gifts and talents. - Conrad Burns With nearly all students leaving public high school having taken some vocational education, this bill continues to provide communities with the funding necessary to give students an edge on career training. - John M Mchugh At different times I taught humanities, social sciences and pre-vocational education. - Estelle Morris

A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education. - George Bernard Shaw What is the matter with universities is that the students are school children, whereas it is of the very essence of university education that they should be adults. - George Bernard Shaw I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them. - Charles Kennedy The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky, because my parents couldn't have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn't possibly have gone. - Trevor Nunn 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. - Theodore Roosevelt

I'm no politician. I'm an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education. - Stephen Ambrose Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity, to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining. - Desmond Tutu Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority. - Rutherford B Hayes One of the disadvantages of almost universal education was the fact that all kinds of persons acquired a familiarity with one's favorite writers. It gave one a curious feeling; it was like seeing a drunken stranger wrapped in one's dressing gown. - Stella Gibbons Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own ...

If you are in a country that is progressive, the woman is progressive. If you're in a country that reflects the consciousness toward the importance of education, it's because the woman is aware of the importance of education. But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education. - Malcolm X

We are looking for ways to decrease the dropout rate. I am pretty sure, if we eliminate career and technical education, we are going to increase the dropout rate. - Michael Enzi I had to gain experience as I did not have a technical education. - Mikhail Kalashnikov

In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad. - Friedrich Nietzsche Health care is not a privilege. It's a right. It's a right as fundamental as civil rights. It's a right as fundamental as giving every child a chance to get a public education. - Rod Blagojevich We stand in the shadow of Jefferson who believed that a society founded upon the rule of law and liberty was dependent upon public education and the diffusion of knowledge. - Matt Blunt Public education is an investment in our future. - Matt Blunt I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system. - Barbara Boxer You look at public education system, charter schools, infrastructure, in so many ways New Orleans has come back stronger. - Drew Brees We're first on executions. We're 49th in funding public educat...

The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people. - Avery Brundage It is agreed that little girls should have a different physical education than little boys, but it is not admitted how much of the difference is counseled by the conviction that little girls should not look like little boys. - Germaine Greer I got involved in athletics during physical education lessons at school. - Alberto Juantorena It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems. - Shannon Miller There should be a class on sex education, a real sex-education class. There should be a class on police brutality. There should be a class on apartheid. There should be a class on why people are hungry. But there are not. There are classes on gym. Physical education. Let's learn volleyball. - Tupac Shakur My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever sa...

Even on education, his one accomplishment, the Leave No Child Behind Act, and he has left it unfunded. - Sidney Blumenthal Intervention for the prevention and control of osteoporosis should comprise a combination of legislative action, educational measures, health service activities, media coverage, and individual counselling to initiate changes in behaviour. - Gro Harlem Brundtland If we would spend on education half the amount of money that we currently lavish on sports and entertainment, we could provide complete and free education for every student in this country. - Ben Carson Heart and head are the constituent parts of character; temperament has almost nothing to do with it, and, therefore, character is dependent upon education, and is susceptible of being corrected and improved. - Giacomo Casanova In the new economy, information, education, and motivation are everything. - William J Clinton I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home en...

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all - Aristotle I've got no education. - Andrea Arnold The older I grow, the more I am convinced that there is no education which one can get from books and costly apparatus that is equal to that which can be gotten from contact with great men and women. - Booker T Washington I suppose that in no educational institution can one become an educated person. - Mikhail Bulgakov But then, look at me. My brain is incorrectly formed, and I'm shaped like a tube. Plus, I'm an alcoholic, a "survivor" of childhood sexual abuse, was raised in a cult and have no education. So, really, if you think about it, the only thing that separates me from the guy with the stinky foot and no teeth is a book deal and some cologne. - Augusten Burroughs No education is worth having that does not teach the lesson of concentration on a task, however unattractive. These lessons, if not learnt early, will be learnt,...

Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs. - John Ruskin I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. - Oscar Wilde I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development, but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted. - Dalai Lama Half the business of modern education is taken up in learning not to be ignorant; a process peculiarly unfavorable both to strength of mind and pregnancy of imagination.. - William Hazlitt The trouble with modern education is you never know how ignorant people are. With anyone over fifty you can be fairly confident what's been taught and what's been left out. But these young p...

Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant. - John Adams I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education. - Tallulah Bankhead If you know your Bible and your Shakespeare and can shoot craps, you have a liberal education. - Tallulah Bankhead A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. - A Bartlett Giamatti Women ought to feel a peculiar sympathy in the colored man's wrong, for, like him, she has been accused of mental inferiority, and denied the privileges of a liberal education. - Angelina Grimke The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one's mind a pleasant place in which to spend one's leisure. - Sydney J Harris Men of polite learning and a liberal education. - M...

My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school. - Jillian Bach My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education. - Julie Bowen I do think that a general liberal arts education is very important, particularly in an uncertain changing world. - Steve Case Contrary to what some folks would have us believe, it is not tragic, even if undesirable, for a person to leave a liberal arts education not having read major works from this canon. Their lives are not ending. And the exciting dimension of knowledge is that we can learn a work without formally studying it. If a student graduates without reading Shakespeare and then reads or studies this work later, it does not delegitimize whatever formal course of study that was completed. - Bell Hooks I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathem...

His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy. - Woody Allen He was a simple man who had no inferiority complex about his lack of education, and even more amazing no superiority complex because he had succeeded despite that lack. - Maya Angelou So you see that the process of education, taken in a large way, may be described as nothing but the process of acquiring ideas or conceptions, the best educated mind being the mind which has the largest stock of them, ready to meet the largest possible variety of the emergencies of life. The lack of education means only the failure to have acquired them, and the consequent liability to be 'floored' and 'rattled' in the vicissitudes of experience. - William James I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia. - Haile Gebrselassie To those of us who often procrastinate on the decision we feel intimidated by lack of educa...

No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy. - Brad Henry Education technology and school construction go together. Modernization, updating education facilities, and making a capital investment in education are all included. - Major R Owens Ladies and gentlemen: There can be no greater investment in Alabama's future than an investment in education. - Bob Riley

But in every backward country you'll find the women are backward, and in every country where education is not stressed its because the women don't have education. - Malcolm X

The higher amount you put into higher education, at the federal level particularly, the more the price of higher education rises. It's the dog that never catches its tail. You increase student loans, you increase grants, you increase Pell grants, Stafford loans, and what happens? They raise the price. - Bill Bennett The United States is the most innovative country in the world. But our leadership could slip away if we fail to properly fund primary, secondary and higher education. - Jeff Bingaman There is still a lot of misinformation being spread about higher education funding arrangements under the new Act. The students page on my website sets out the main points in the Act. - Anne Campbell Poorer students take out larger loans and will have to contribute more to the cost of higher education. - Anne Campbell They were often the first students in their family to go to college and the very idea of higher education was still foreign to them. They had to make a conscious and ofte...

I would much rather be considered wise than smart. But, I still think it is wise to get an education. - Destiny Booze I talk to student-athletes. I try to get them to remember that they're not just athletes, but student-athletes. You need to get an education, keep your hands clean and try to represent the university. - Earl Campbell I always felt that I came up short in the education department, but I've come to the conclusion that we all get an education. - Michael J Fox Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only reason you should be in college is to destroy it. - Abbie Hoffman No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process. - Louis Lamour I think more of the little kids from a school in a little village in Niger who ge...

The education that prepared me was my general education classes, which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate, but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible. - Orson Scott Card There is no one area of chemical engineering that specifically helped me in my career as an astronaut, it was more the general education in engineering. Also, it was a very difficult and rigorous course. So, it made me strong and resourceful. - Leroy Chiao Racial and denominational schools impart to the membership of their communities something which the general educational institution is wholly unable to inculcate. - Kelly Millar I grew up between the two world wars and received a rather solid general education, the kind middle class children enjoyed in a country whose educational system had its roots dating back to the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. - George Andrew Olah
