Education Quotes

-- Education Quotes by Eli Broad

I am not a patient person. My friends and colleagues will confirm this. But, frankly, we should all feel a little more impatient with the state of publiceducation in America today.
-- Education Quotes by Eli Broad

I can imagine no more important contribution to our country’s future than a long-term commitment to improving urban K-12 public schools.
-- Education Quotes by Eli Broad

Public education is the key civil rights issue of the 21st century. Our nation's knowledge-based economy demands that we provide young people from all backgrounds and circumstances with the education and skills necessary to become knowledge workers. If we don't, we run the risk of creating an even larger gap between the middle class and the poor. This gap threatens our democracy, our society and the economic future of America.
-- Education Quotes by Eli Broad

Australia must prioritise education spending. It is not a question of whether or not we have the money, it is a question of how we choose to spend it.
-- Education Quotes by Bob Brown

We must have an expansionary vision, one that captures the imagination and diversity of the whole community, one which befits a nation which has moved beyond the basics of literacy and numeracy and which wants to develop a learning culture, to affirm its democratic traditions and give expression to the diversity and vibrance of its community through its publiceducation system. Putting optimism for everyone back into Australia’s future depends on it.
-- Education Quotes by Bob Brown

I think that the Bible as literature should be a compulsory part of the national curriculum.. you can't understand English literature and culture without it. But insofar as theology studies the nature of the divine, it will earn the right to be taken seriously when it provides the slightest, smallest smidgen of a reason for believing in the existence of the divine. Meanwhile, we should devote as much time to studying serious theology as we devote to studying serious fairies and serious unicorns.
-- Education Quotes by Richard Dawkins

Most people, I believe, think that you need a God to explain the existence of the world, and especially the existence of life. They are wrong, but oureducation system is such that many people don't know it.
-- Education Quotes by Richard Dawkins

The bottom line is that if I did it, you can do it. I got rich without the benefit of a college education or a penny of capital but making many errors along the way. I went from being a pauper.. a hippie dropout on the dole, living in a crummy room without the proverbial pot to piss in, without even the money to pay the rent, without a clue as to what to do next.. to being rich..
-- Education Quotes by Felix Dennis

I believe, indeed, that overemphasis on the purely intellectual attitude, often directed solely to the practical and factual, in oureducation, has led directly to the impairment of ethical values.
-- Education Quotes by Albert Einstein

Vitally important for a young man or woman is, first, to realize the value of education and then to cultivate earnestly, aggressively, ceaselessly, the habit of self-education.
-- Education Quotes by BC Forbes

Everyone agrees that the failure of our high schools is tragic. It’s bad business, and it’s bad policy. But we act as if it can’t be helped. It can be helped. We designed these high schools; we can redesign them.
-- Education Quotes by Melinda Gates

Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We’ve strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high.. and those from junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
-- Education Quotes by Melinda Gates

A woman with a voice is by definition a strong woman. But the search to find that voice can be remarkably difficult. It’s complicated by the fact that in most nations women receive substantially lesseducation than men.
-- Education Quotes by Melinda Gates

As our economy faces up to potential labour shortages due to our ageing population and as it moves to a new level of sophistication to compete with the rest of the world, we’re going to need every Australian on board pulling their weight, rejoining the workforce, gaining new skills. Writing off individuals and communities suffering from poverty just creates a dead weight for our economy to drag along.
-- Education Quotes by Julia Gillard

All teachers are good for someone. There are some teachers out there who I cannot stand, for whatever reason. I cannot even bear the sound of one teacher’s voice. Yet they are wonderful teachers for other people. They just are not for me.
-- Education Quotes by Louise Hay

Citizenship has not delivered Indigenous Australians the same quality of life other Australians expect. Basic human rights involve health, housing,education , employment, economic opportunity, and equality before the law, and respect for cultural identity and cultural diversity. These human rights must be capable of being enjoyed otherwise they are empty gestures.
-- Education Quotes by Jackie Huggins

In business, I loved cars. I couldn’t wait to get to work in the morning. Only in America can you decide to get a good education and pursue what you like.
-- Education Quotes by Lee Iacocca

I was fortunate to get a scholarship when I went to Lehigh University and Princeton. They were both wonderful schools. Somebody was kind enough to spend their money to educate people that they would never get to know. That’s what I think philanthropy is about.
-- Education Quotes by Lee Iacocca

I've learned so many things and a lot of things I've learned the hard way. I look at failure as education in that respect I'm very well educated.
-- Education Quotes by Kathy Ireland

It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made it so pleasant and acceptable to me.
-- Education Quotes by Helen Keller

Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before myeducation began, only I was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was.
-- Education Quotes by Helen Keller

Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation.
-- Education Quotes by John F. Kennedy

In order to stave off covetouness, greed, and spite, citizens world over must be educated.
-- Education Quotes by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

Financial education needs to become a part of our national curriculum and scoring systems so that it’s not just the rich kids that learn about money.. it’s all of us.
-- Education Quotes by David Bach

Eliminating the tax breaks is not going to keep jobs here in America. We've got to make it more attractive to have jobs here in America and for corporations to be here. You've got to take the burden off the corporations with a health care system that's universal, so we're not at a competitive disadvantage. You've got to have a bettereducation system to provide for the highest-tech jobs that we educate our folks for, so we're not importing 400,000 computer engineers to work in Silicon Valley. And you've got to deal with the innovation and infrastructure needs in this country.. tunnels, bridges, etc... which we haven't done to make us more competitive.
