Education

"No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure." Emma Goldman

"Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other." Emma Goldman

"Animal protection is education to the humanity" Albert Schweitzer

"I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success." John Francis „Jack“ Welch Jr.

"Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn." Unbekannt

"He who is ashamed to ask is ashamed to learn." Christoph Lehmann

"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Benjamin Franklin

"Children must learn how to think, not what to think." Margaret Mead

"Restoring prayer ... will scarcely at this date solve the grievous public school problem. Public schools are expensive and massive centers for cultural and ideological brainwashing, at which they are unfortunately far more effective than in teaching the 3 R's or in keeping simple order within the schools. Any plan to begin dismantling the public school monstrosity is met with effective opposition by the teachers' and educators' unions. Truly radical change is needed to shift education from public to unregulated private schooling, religious and secular, as well as home schooling by parents." Murray Rothbard

"This is about: What is actually best for children and young people? And how do they get their education and how do they become citizens? Because that is also the goal of our schooling, that I am an educated person who can also fulfill my civic duties and for that I need appropriate behavior and I learn that not only explicitly through knowledge, but also implicitly by practicing a state on a small scale, namely at school." Anita Hofmann

"Together we have come to realize that for most men the right to learn is curtailed by the obligation to attend school." Ivan Illich

"Most people acquire most of their knowledge outside school, and in school only insofar as school, in a few rich countries, has become their place of confinement during an increasing part of their lives." Ivan Illich

"In schools, including universities, most resources are spent to purchase the time and motivation of a limited number of people to take up predetermined problems in a ritually defined setting. The most radical alternative to school would be a network or service which gave each man the same opportunity to share his current concern with others motivated by the same concern." Ivan Illich

"The Lord can only teach an inquiring mind." Russell M. Nelson
