Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “I think the most important education that we have is the education which now I am glad to say is being accepted as the proper one, and one which ought to be widely diffused, that industrial, vocational education which puts young men and women in a position from which they can by their own efforts work themselves to independence.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
