Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”
    —Emma Hart Willard (1787–1870)

    “The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)

    “It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
