Education can take place in formal or informal educational settings. Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of others, but may also be autodidactic. Any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. Education is commonly divided into stages such as preschool, primary school, secondary school and then college, university or apprenticeship.
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
Albert Einstein
Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.
Sholom Aleichem
The end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
T.S. Eliot
Meetings are indispensable when you don’t want to do anything.
John Kenneth Galbraith
We rise by lifting others.
Robert Ingersoll
If you want the best the world has to offer, offer the world your best.
Neale Donald Walsch
To improve your life you must necessarily know something (a lot) about finance and trading.
Carl William Brown
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.
Plato
By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.
Confucius
Competion is global, stupidity is universal.
Carl William Brown
A man profits more by the sight of an idiot than by the orations of the learned.
Arabian Proverb
I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike – and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two – are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.
Harold Bloom
Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.
John Maynard Keynes
Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.
Stephen Vizinczey
I realized early on that the academy and the literary world alike – and I don’t think there really is a distinction between the two – are always dominated by fools, knaves, charlatans and bureaucrats. And that being the case, any human being, male or female, of whatever status, who has a voice of her or his own, is not going to be liked.
Harold Bloom
Private schools, pretentious educational and political institutions, with a lot of university teachers most commonly and pompously called professors are clearly more interested in making money than in spreading pedagogical matters, logic and common sense, also because before teaching you must first be able to learn.
Carl William Brown
When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.
Peter F. Drucker
Education is a private matter between the person and the world of knowledge and experience, and has little to do with school or college.
Lillian Smith
If it is understandable that so much energy and effort should be devoted to the scientific study of intelligence, it is somewhat bewildering to find the much more common, actually dangerous and potentially devastating phenomenon of stupidity totally neglected.
James F. Welles, Ph. D.
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
Bruce Lee
Successful language learning entails learner motivation, cooperation and empathy. Naturally, this approach places emphasis on learner development. There are a number of stages in the learner development process. The uppermost stages include raising language awareness (how learners can contribute to their own learning), changing learning strategies (self-monitoring, responding to peers, etc.), and, finally, assuming responsibility for their own learning. The last stage implies transferring some traditional teacher’s roles to learners which allows them to become more independent
Kavaliauskiene, 2002
Formal education will make you a living, self-education will make you a fortune.
Jim Rohn
By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.
Confucius
The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back.
John Maynard Keynes
I forget what I was taught. I only remember what I have learnt.
Patrick White
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.
Bruce Lee
Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent.
John Maynard Keynes
We all live in a small unique world, that’s why we need at least one sole common language.
Carl William Brown
Some students are very proud of their ignorance, that’s why they do nothing to mitigate it.
Carl William Brown
There is always a lesson to be learned. Don’t let your pride spoil your chances of healing your ignorance.
Carl William Brown
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.
Oscar Wilde
The reward of sin is death? That’s hard. Si peccasse negamus, fallimur, et nulla est in nobis veritas. If we say that we have no sin, We deceive ourselves, and there’s no truth in us.
Christopher Marlowe
Without a constant misuse of language there cannot be any discovery, any progress.
Paul Karl Feyerabend
All religions are good ‘in principle’ – but unfortunately this abstract Good has only rarely prevented their practitioners from behaving like bastards. Paul Karl Feyerabend, Farewell to Reason
Science is essentially an anarchic enterprise: theoretical anarchism is more humanitarian and more likely to encourage progress than its law-and-order alternatives.
Paul Karl Feyerabend, Against Method: Outline of an Anarchistic Theory of Knowledge
Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.
