You need not become anybody else. That is the meaning of simplicity: remaining at ease with one’s being, and not going on any track of becoming – which is unending. Osho

Passive acceptance of the teacher’s wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favor of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position. Bertrand Russell

Jiddu Krishnamurti

The average teacher explains complexity; the gifted teacher reveals simplicity. Robert Brault
An eternal question about children is, how should we educate them? Politicians and educators consider more school days in a year, more science and math, the use of computers and other technology in the classroom, more exams and tests, more certification for teachers, and less money for art. All of these responses come from the place where we want to make the child into the best adult possible, not in the ancient Greek sense of virtuous and wise, but in the sense of one who is an efficient part of the machinery of society. But on all these counts, soul is neglected. Thomas Moore
A child seldom needs a good talking to as a good listening. Robert Brault

The parents have to learn that the child should not be insulted, humiliated, condemned. If you want to help him, love him more. Appreciate what is good in him rather than emphasizing what is bad.

You may be able to shift his energy from the bad side to the good side, from the dark side to the lighted side, because you will make him aware that this is the way to get respect, this is the way to be honored. And you will prevent him from doing anything that makes him fall down in people’s eyes. Osho

In school we learn that mistakes are bad, and we are punished for making them. Yet, if you look at the way humans are designed to learn, we learn by making mistakes. We learn to walk by falling down. If we never fell down, we would never walk. Robert Kiyosaki
Things changed in the fourth grade, though. One of the saints in my life is this woman named Imogene Hill, who was a fourth-grade teacher who taught this advanced class. She got hip to my whole situation in about a month and kindled a passion in me for learning things. I learned more that year than I think I learned in any year in school. Steve Jobs
Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Nicholas Meyer
Quotes About College
A university is what a college becomes when the faculty loses interest in the students. John Ciardi
It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge. Brooks Atkinson
Standardization is the fertilizer of college education. A little may be useful, but flowers do not grow in pure manure. Martin H. Fischer
Quotes About University
A university should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning. Benjamin Disraeli
The quality of a university is measured more by the kind of student it turns out than the kind it takes in. Robert J. Kibbee
What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books. Thomas Carlyle
No university in the world has ever risen to greatness without a correspondingly great library… When this is no longer true, then will our civilization have come to an end. Lawrence Clark Powell
Freedom of inquiry, freedom of discussion, and freedom of teaching – without these a university cannot exist. Robert Maynard Hutchins Click to tweet
A university’s essential character is that of being a center of free inquiry and criticism – a thing not to be sacrificed for anything else. Richard Hofstadter
The university most worthy of rational admiration is that one in which your lonely thinker can feel himself lonely, most positively furthered, and most richly fed. William James
One learns more from listening than speaking. And both the wind and the people who continue to live close to nature still have much to tell us which we cannot hear within university walls. Thor Heyerdahl
The task of a university is the creation of the future, so far as rational thought and civilized modes of appreciation can affect the issue. Alfred North Whitehead
There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see. John Masefield
A university is not a political party, and an education is not an indoctrination. David Horowitz
Quotes About Reading
Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Francis Bacon
How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book. Henry David Thoreau
A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. Henry David Thoreau
A good book is an education of the heart. It enlarges your sense of human possibility what human nature is of what happens in the world. It’s a creator of inwardness. Susan Sontag
The keys to life are running and reading. When you’re running, there’s a little person that talks to you and says, ‘Oh I’m tired. My lung’s about to pop. I’m so hurt. There’s no way I can possibly continue.’ You want to quit. If you learn how to defeat that person when you’re running. You will how to not quit when things get hard in your life. For reading: there have been gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There’s no new problem you could have: with your parents, with school, with a bully. There’s no new problem that someone hasn’t already had and written about it in a book. Will Smith
I started reading literature at 17 or 18, and I felt this extra beat to life. Richard Ford
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing. Voltaire Click to tweet
Shakespeare, Dickens, Mark Twain, and so many others were my dearest friends and greatest teachers. Lloyd Alexander
I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage. Arthur Schopenhauer
I’m reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it’s like my little friend – it takes my mind off things. Billie Piper
I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean, first of all, it’s a way to get information and find out what’s going on in the world. But also, it helps your imagination. Breckin Meyer
Reading serves as a good escape when you’re in the middle of doing crazy things. Carly Rae Jepsen
Reading and discovering fiction has taught me how to empathize, understand falling in love and all those complex relationships that people have to deal with. Daniel Tammet
Reading and life are not separate but symbiotic. And for this serious task of imaginative discovery and self-discovery, there is and remains one perfect symbol: the printed book. Julian Barnes
I like reading books because we learn from books, we learn about history, we learn even about future. Malala Yousafzai
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him. Maya Angelou
Mere reading of the scriptures is not enough. A person cannot understand the true significance of the scriptures if he is attached to the world. Ramakrishna
Reading is a basic tool in the living of a good life. Joseph Addison
Properly, we should read for power. Man reading should be man intensely alive. The book should be a ball of light in one’s hand. Ezra Pound
With one day’s reading a man may have the key in his hands. Ezra Pound
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Winston Churchill
Sit down and read. Educate yourself for the coming conflicts. Mary Harris Jones

Reading Books Is Great But…
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. Haruki Murakami
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours. John Locke
I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about. Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Children should learn that reading is pleasure, not just something that teachers make you do in school. Beverly Cleary
Reading is equivalent to thinking with someone else’s head instead of with one’s own. Arthur Schopenhauer
Reading, like writing, is a creative act. If readers only bring a narrow range of themselves to the book, then they’ll only see their narrow range reflected in it. Ben Okri
My Alma mater was books, a good library… I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity. Malcolm X
What is reading, but silent conversation. Charles Lamb
Writing and reading is to me synonymous with existing. Gertrude Stein
The best advice I ever got was that knowledge is power and to keep reading. David Bailey
When you cease from labour, fill up your time in reading, meditation, and prayer: and while your hands are labouring, let your heart be employed, as much as possible, in divine thoughts. David Brainerd

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them. Joseph Brodsky
I spend a lot of time reading. Bill Gates, Co-founder of Microsoft
Never Stop Learning Because…
The day you stop learning and creating must be the most boring day. Samantha Barks
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Henry Ford
The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark. Thomas Paine
Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life’s greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned. Taylor Caldwell
The minute that you’re not learning I believe you’re dead. Jack Nicholson Click to tweet
Learning is its own exceeding great reward. William Hazlitt
Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow. Anthony J. D’Angelo
A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Quotes About Unlearning
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned. Mark Twain
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. Alvin Toffler
Perfecting oneself is as much unlearning as it is learning. Edsger Dijkstra
In some sense our ability to open the future will depend not on how well we learn anymore but on how well we are able to unlearn. Alan Kay
It’s not a question of learning much. On the contrary. It’s a question of unlearning much. Osho
The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. Gloria Steinem
The most important lessons lay not in what I needed to learn, but in what I first needed to unlearn. Jim Collins Click to tweet
Unlearning is about moving away from something — letting go — rather than acquiring. It’s like stripping old paint. It lays the foundation for the new layer of fresh learning to be acquired and to stick. Margie Warrell
It is not hard to learn more. What is hard is to unlearn when you discover yourself wrong. Martin H. Fischer
Part 9. Formal VS Self-Education
Quotes Against Formal Education
Doubt grows with knowledge. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
People who are over-educated become risk-averse. Tamara Mellon
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. Albert Einstein
If the primary purpose of school was education, the Internet should obsolete it. But school is mainly about credentialing. Naval Ravikant
Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn’t finish college. Too much emphasis is placed on formal education – I told my children not to worry about their grades but to enjoy learning. Nassim Nicholas Taleb
My natural inclination to be improv rather than an educated character serves me well. Gary Vaynerchuk
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. Bertrand Russell
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it. Alexandre Dumas
All claims of education notwithstanding, the pupil will accept only that which his mind craves. Emma Goldman
People will pay more to be entertained than educated. Johnny Carson
One of the greatest problems of our time is that many are schooled but few are educated. Thomas More Click to tweet
If I was educated, I’d be a damn fool. Bob Marley
The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality. H. L. Mencken
An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously. Charles Kettering
It is possible to get an education at a university. It has been done; not often. Lincoln Steffens
I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly. Michel de Montaigne
Education is a system of imposed ignorance. Noam Chomsky
The mere imparting of information is not education. Carter G. Woodson Click to tweet
School is the advertising agency which makes you believe that you need the society as it is. Ivan Illich
Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact succeeding magnificently because its aim is to keep the American people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system. Richard Mitchell
I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas. Agatha Christie
Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality. Beatrix Potter
Quotes About Homeschooling
The home is the chief school of human virtues. William Ellery Channing
Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep herding. Ezra Pound
One of the marks of an educated man today is to know what not to read – what not to see or what not to listen to. Ezra Taft Benson
Any child who can spend an hour or two a day, or more if he wants, with adults that he likes, who are interested in the world and like to talk about it, will on most days learn far more from their talk than he would learn in a week of school. John Holt
Leaders are not, as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. “Leadership qualities” are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders. John Holt
What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children’s growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn’t a school at all. John Holt
It is hard not to feel that there must be something very wrong with much of what we do in school, if we feel the need to worry so much about what many people call ‘motivation’. A child has no stronger desire than to make sense of the world, to move freely in it, to do the things that he sees bigger people doing. John Holt
A child educated only at school is an uneducated child. George Santayana Click to tweet
The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda – a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make ‘good’ citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens. H.L. Mencken
Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact succeeding magnificently because its aim is to keep the American people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system. Richard Mitchell
We can get too easily bogged down in the academic part of homeschooling, a relatively minor part of the whole, which is to raise competent, caring, literate, happy people. Diane Flynn Keith
Once upon a time, all children were homeschooled. They were not sent away from home each day to a place just for children but lived, learned, worked, and played in the real world, alongside adults and other children of all ages. Rachel Gathercole
I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. John Taylor Gatto
The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else. John W. Gardner
I was delighted to see him growing more cautious and skeptical about what he heard, especially when he heard it from someone in apparent authority. I think that is fundamental to a good education. And if it comes back to bite me from time to time, that’s a price worth paying. Martine Millman
Learning and education are a normal part of everyday life and do not need a vast expensive bureaucracy to force them to happen. Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
There are as many approaches to unschooling as there are people, by design. A child is supported to read when ready and interested, not on another’s timetable, for example. He can and will be encouraged to pursue a wide range of interests, based on his interests, such as free play, inventing, experimenting scientifically, video gaming, role modeling through friendship, spiritual development through inquiry of self and others, athletics, learning to trust himself and others. Kytka Hilmar-Jezek
You will not reap the fruit of individuality in your children if you clone their education. Marilyn Howshall Click to tweet
The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home. David O. McKay
More of family and less of school, more of parents and less of peers, more creative freedom and less formal lessons. Raymond S. Moore
Homeschooling will certainly produce some socially awkward adults, but the odds are good they would have been just as quirky had they spent twelve years raising their hand for permission to go to the bathroom. Quinn Cummings
The status quo was rote memorization and recitation in classrooms thronged with passive children who were sternly disciplined when they expressed individual needs. David Guterson
My aim in homeschooling is to give my children the ability to be an adult learner, a skill set that will last the rest of their lives. Nancy Pearcey

Quotes About Self-Education
Those who know how to think need no teachers. Mahatma Gandhi
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. Isaac Asimov
It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts. John Wooden
The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Walk into a wealthy person’s home and one of the first things you’ll see is an extensive library of books they’ve used to educate themselves on how to become more successful. Steve Siebold
You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul. Swami Sivananda
Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself. Osho
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. Henry David Thoreau
Self-education is the only possible education; the rest is mere veneer laid on the surface of a child’s nature. Charlotte M. Mason Click to tweet
You either write your own script or you become an actor in someone else’s. John Taylor Gatto
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. Jim Rohn
Part 9. Conclusion
I think you’re working and learning until you die. J. K. Rowling
All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind. Martin H. Fischer
I do not much believe in education. Each man ought to be his own model, however frightful that may be. Albert Einstein
We don’t stop going to school when we graduate. Carol Burnett
No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete. Gilbert K. Chesterton
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Will Smith
The difference between school and life? In school, you’re taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you’re given a test that teaches you a lesson. Tom Bodett
I’ve tested life and I’ve learned what works for me. Joe Namath
Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life. Henry L. Doherty
We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn. Peter Drucker
Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we must stop adding and start updating. Robert Brault
The world itself is a great teacher, a constant guide and inspiration. That is the reason why man is surrounded and sustained by the world. Sri Sathya Sai Baba
The learning process continues until the day you die. Kirk Douglas Click to tweet
The trick in life is learning how to deal with it. Helen Mirren
Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will. Vernon Howard
Learn as much as you can while you are young, since life becomes too busy later. Dana Stewart Scott
I’m not a prophet. I’m not a teacher. I have no degrees. My degree is from the University of Life. Jamie Lee Curtis
Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age? Erich Fromm
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher. William Wordsworth
Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. Bryan White
The supreme lesson of any education should be to think for yourself and to be yourself; absent this attainment, education creates dangerous, stupefying conformity. Bryant H. McGill
The length of your education is less important than its breadth, and the length of your life is less important than its depth. Marilyn vos Savant
Learning doesn’t stop when school ends. It just starts. Unknown

I wish you had a search engine for the site. I’d spotted a wonderful quote by Nora Roberts that I’d have loved to have referenced just now and couldn’t find it. sigh
There is one here https://wisdomquotes.com/search/
The quote by Nora Roberts is perhaps this one:
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place. Nora Roberts
Very inspirational education quotes. This one is my favorite one from your collection by J. K. Rowling: “I think you’re working and learning until you die.”

Hi Tia,
thanks for commenting on Wisdom Quotes!
There are a lot of beautiful and inspiring quotes by Albert Einstein.
This one is not an exception.
Thanks,
Maxime
I really love this! I just graduated and I’m still doubting if I should pursue my Master’s degree. My favorite quote is: Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way. Noam Chomsky.
For some people, school is for them.
For others, like autodidacts, it’s not.
It depends on your preferences and if you feel you’re learning.
Life, traveling, learning new things by yourself and starting a business are great ways to educate yourself too.
Cheers,
Maxime
Hi Maxime, It is said that education is one thing that remains for the longest period of time. As a teacher I believe the saying: “My goal is to translate response into results. Some teachers teach for others to learn, that’s not me. Some teachers teach for others to accomplish, that is me.”
Great post!
Thanks for posting!
That’s a beautiful quote Krishnendu, thanks for posting it.
Another thoughtful quote I like is this one by James Clear: The person who asks questions is more helpful than the person who offers advice.
Regards,
Maxime
The more educated our kids are, the greater life they’ll have. If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place.
Thank you.
I love that quote and mindset.
Thanks for sharing with us,
