Aristotle Quote

If there is some end in the things we do, which we desire for its own sake, clearly this must be the chief good. Knowing this will have a great influence on how we live our lives.

John Dewey - Education Quote

The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.

Education Quote - Desmond Tutu

Inclusive, good-quality education is a foundation for dynamic and equitable societies.

Michelle Obama Quote on Education

"I come here as a mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election."

-Michelle Obama

John F. Kennedy Quote

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.

George Lucas - Education Quote and film

Traditional education can be extremely isolating -- the curriculum is often abstract and not relevant to real life, teachers and students don't connect with resources and experts outside of the classroom, and schools operate as if they were separate from their communities . . . . students connecting with passionate experts, and broader forms of assessment can dramatically improve student learning . . . . And well-prepared educators are critical.

I didn't really discover any interest in film until I was a junior in college.

Education Quote - Frank Lloyd Wright

The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen.

Ropo Oguntimehin
Education is a companion which no future can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate it and no nepotism can enslave.

Education quote - Alvin Tofler

'We need a multiplicity of visions, dreams and prophecies - images of potential tomorrows.' Alvin Tofler

Michelle Obama Quote on Education

"I come here as a mom whose girls are the heart of my heart and the center of my world - they're the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning, and the last thing I think about when I go to bed at night. Their future - and all our children's future - is my stake in this election."

President Obama Quote on Education

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you're flying high at first, but it won't take long before you feel the impact.

US President Barack Obama

Desmond Tutu

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

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.

John Holt

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.
