  By: Joseph Addison
  Education Quotes
• "A statue lies hid in a block of marble, and the art of the statuary only clears away the superfluous matter and removes the rubbish. The figure is in the stone; the sculptor only finds it. What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul. The philosopher, the saint, or the hero,--the wise, the good, or the great man,--very often lies hid and concealed in a plebeian, which a proper education might have disinterred, and have brought to light."
  By: Joseph Addison

  Education Quotes

  By: John Ruskin
  Education Quotes
• "Education is either from nature, from man, or from things; the developing of our faculties and organs is the education of nature; that of man is the application we learn to make of this very developing; and that of things is the experience we acquire in regard to the different objects by which we are affected. All that we have not at our birth, and that we stand in need of at the years of maturity, is the gift of education."
  By: Jean-Jacques Rousseau
  Education Quotes
• "A child of one can be taught not to do certain things such as touch a hot stove, turn on the gas, pull lamps off their tables by their cords, or wake mommy before noon."
  By: Joan Rivers

  By: Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (Johann Paul Richter) (used ps. Jean Paul)
  Education Quotes
• "Every man has two educations--that which is given to him, and the other, that which he gives to himself. Of the two kinds, the latter is by far the most valuable. Indeed, all that is most worthy in a man, he must work out and conquer for himself. It is that that constitutes our real and best nourishment. What we are merely taught seldom nourishes the mind like that which we teach ourselves."
  By: Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (Johann Paul Richter) (used ps. Jean Paul)
  Education Quotes
• "Begin the education of the heart, not with the cultivation of noble propensities, but with the cutting away of those that are evil. When once the noxious herbs are withered and rooted out, then the more noble plants, strong in themselves, will shoot upwards. The virtuous heart, like the body, becomes strong and healthy more by labor than nourishment."
  By: Jean Paul Friedrich Richter (Johann Paul Richter) (used ps. Jean Paul)
