My long Christmas break is over, and I started going back to school this week. I thought I’d commemorate it with a few quotes about education and college.
- “Nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.” ~ Oscar Wilde
- “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” ~ Mark Twain
- “Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.” ~ Mark Twain
- “In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then he made school boards.” ~ Mark Twain
- “It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.” ~ Albert Einstein
- “Education … has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.” ~ G. M. Trevelyan
- “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
- “A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
- “Men are born ignorant, not stupid; they are made stupid by education.” ~ Bertrand Russell
- “Colleges are places where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed.” ~ Robert G. Ingersoll
- “He was so learned that he could name a horse in nine languages; so ignorant that he bought a cow to ride on.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
