My favorite quotes on "Education"

  • "Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only that the cat died nobly." -- Arnold Edinborough
  • "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." -- Alvin Toffler
  • "Learning from a teacher who has stopped learning is like drinking from a stagnant pond." -- Indonesian Proverb
  • Instead of the difficult task of educating a child, I now undertake the easier task of writing about it. -- Rousseau
  • "A teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary." -- Thomas Carruthers
  • "Research is what I do when I don't know what I'm doing." -- Wernher Von Braun
  • "The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next." -- Abraham Lincoln
  • "That is what learning is. You suddenly understand something you've understood all your life, but in a new way." -- Doris Lessing
  • "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it." -- Aristotle
  • "Most teachers waste their time by asking questions which are intended to discover what a pupil does not know whereas the true art of questioning has for its purpose to discover what the pupil knows or is capable of knowing." -- Albert Einstein
  • "The larger the island of knowledge, the longer the shoreline of wonder."
    -- Ralph M. Sockman
