Education

"Learning is like rowing against the current. As soon as you stop, you drift back." Edward Benjamin Britten

"Anyone who keeps learning stays young." Henry Ford

"Learning from programmed information always hides reality behind a screen." Ivan Illich

"Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way." Noam Chomsky

"Schools teach the need to be taught." Ivan Illich

""People's minds are trained largely at the expense of their hearts." This is not so; it is only that there are more educable minds than there are educable hearts." Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

"The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already." Henry Ford

"The one who learns and learns and doesn't practice is like the one who plows and plows and never plants." Platon

"People cannot become truly knowledgeable without being excellent readers." Bill Gates

"One of the most valuable things any person can learn is the art of using the knowledge and experience of others." Napoleon Hill

"People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself." Doris Lessing

"The interaction of knowledge and skills with experience is key to learning." John Dewey

"I believe that the community's duty to education is, therefore, its paramount moral duty. By law and punishment, by social agitation and discussion, society can regulate and form itself in a more or less haphazard and chance way. But through education society can formulate its own purposes, can organize its own means and resources, and thus shape itself with definiteness and economy in the direction in which it wishes to move." John Dewey

"Teachers need our active support and encouragement. They are doing one of the most necessary and exacting jobs in the land. They are developing our most precious national resource: our children, our future citizens." Eisenhower
