Elbert Hubbard "Everyone who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching." Oscar Wilde "Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education." Bertrand Russell "We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years, and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing." Ralph Waldo Emerson "An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't." Malcolm Forbes "Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one." Malcolm Forbes "What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul." Joseph Addison "If I ran a school, I'd give the average grade to the ones who gave me all the right answers, for being good parrots.

Buckminster Fuller "The secret of education is respecting the pupil." Ralph Waldo Emerson "We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought."

He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way." Kurt Vonnegut "People will pay more to be entertained than educated." Johnny Carson "While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers, poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society."
