The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?

Only the educated are free.

I just graduated and already I'm way behind.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life.

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run. Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind?
