Education Quotes

Plutarch

Education Quote

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Education Quotes

John Holt

Education Quote

What children need is not new and better curricula but access to more and more of the real world; plenty of time and space to think over their experiences, and to use fantasy and play to make meaning out of them; and advice, road maps, guidebooks, to make it easier for them to get where they want to go (not where we think they ought to go), and to find out what they want to find out.

Education Quotes

Theodore Roosevelt

To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

Education Quote

What makes people smart, curious, alert, observant, competent, confident, resourceful, persistent - in the broadest and best sense, intelligent- is not having access to more and more learning places, resources, and specialists, but being able in their lives to do a wide variety of interesting things that matter, things that challenge their ingenuity, skill, and judgement, and that make an obvious difference in their lives and the lives of people around them.

Education Quote

John Holt

I have used the words "home schooling" to describe the process by which children grow and learn in the world without going, or going very much, to schools, because those words are familiar and quickly understood. But in one very important sense they are misleading. What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children's growth in the word is not that it is a better school than the schools but that it isn't a school at all.

Education Quote

Confucious

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.

Education Quote

Pablo Picasso

All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

Education Quote

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

“Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

Education Quote

James Baldwin

It is very nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

Education Quote

Charlotte Mason

The question is not,—how much does the youth know? when he has finished his education—but how much does he care?"

Education Quote - His Holiness Pope John Paul II

I assure you of my own personal appreciation of Scouting as a magnificent experience and form of social and religious commitment.


By the way, if you have a scout troop, you may wish to create a free scouting website. It's easy - with blogs, galleries, forums, calendars, password protection, etc.

Education Quote - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

A child's education should begin at least one hundred years before he is born.

I definitely agree with this. One thing that I find very disturbing is that most children in the United States never study our contract with our government. Learn the Constitution.

Education Quote - Sandra Day O'Conner

It is difficult to discern a serious threat to religious liberty from a room of silent, thoughtful schoolchildren.
