It is a greater advantage to be honestly educated than honorably born.

Repetition is the mother of education.

If the heavens were all parchment, and the trees of the forest all pens, and every human being were a scribe, it would still be impossible to record all that I have learned from my teachers.

That which is evil is soon learned. 

The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas.

I wonder whether if I had an education I should have been more or less a fool than I am. 

The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo-scholarship which actually destroys its object.

A school without grades must have been concocted by someone who was drunk on nonalcoholic wine.

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.

Rewards and punishment are the lowest form of education.

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made school boards.

I am an old scholar, better-looking now than when I was young. That’s what sitting on your ass does to your face.
