Some men never recover from education.

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs only to the people who prepare for it today.

The severity of a teacher is better than the love of a father.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.

A whale-ship was my Yale College and my Harvard.

What one knows is, in youth, of little moment; they know enough who know how to learn.

To live for a time close to great minds is the best kind of education.

Our whole life is but one great school; from the cradle to the grave we are all learners; nor will our education be finished until we die.

Knowledge itself is power.

Make human nature your study wherever you reside—whatever the religion or the complexion, study their hearts.

Reading is learning, but applying is also learning and the more important kind of learning at that.
