A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.
– George Bernard Shaw

– Albert Einstein
A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.

Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything one learned in school.
For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.
– Sir Thomas More, Utopia, Book 1

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen I was like that ship before my education began, only I was without compass or sounding line, and no way of knowing how near the harbor was. 'Light Give me light' was the wordless cry of my soul, and the light of love shone on me in that very hour.
– Helen Keller

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
I've always believed in education and in good teaching that is guided by truth. But after a lifetime of educational pursuit, I now ask, what is true education and who decides on what is good teaching? This search has taken me through the spiritual, the delusional, social, physical, the psychological, the philosophical -- and back again. And I have made the most important educational discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my whole life: It is only through kindness that any true lesson can be taught and that I'm only here to help my students find that kindness. They are all my education, they are all my good teaching, they are my truth, they are my kindness.
– Paul. F. Meekin
Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of facts.
– Henry Adams
Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education.
