Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

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

    “Since [Rousseau’s] time, and largely thanks to him, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes. The object of study is the garment, not the figure.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
