quotes by topic Education

" When you find yourself wanting to turn your children, or pupils, or even your neighbours, into people exactly like yourself, remember that God probably never meant them to be that. You and they are different organs, intended to do different things. "

Education , Diversity

" If all the world were Christian, it might not matter if all the world were uneducated. But, as it is, a cultural life will exist outside the Church whether it exists inside or not. To be ignorant and simple now -- not to be able to meet the enemies on their own ground -- would be to throw down our weapons, and to betray our uneducated brethren who have, under God, no defense but us against the intellectual attacks of the heathen. Good philosophy must exist, if for no other reason, because bad philosophy needs to be answered. The cool intellect must work not only against cool intellect on the other side, but against the muddy heathen mysticisms which deny intellect altogether. Most of all, perhaps we need intimate knowledge of the past. Not that the past has any magic about it, but because we cannot study the future, and yet need something to set against the present, to remind us that periods and that much which seems certain to the uneducated is merely temporary fashion. A man who has lived in many place is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village: the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune form the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his own age. "

Education , Philosophy

" Lewis had developed a trademark style, slow enough for note taking, loud enough to rouse the dullest listener, straightforward, abundantly furnished with quotations, and lavish in wit. "

Education , Communication

" A letter Lewis wrote reveals an 18-year-old with the energy of a schoolboy and the tastes of an octogenarian. "

Education , Literature

" Oxford in the Inklings' day was not so different in look and smell from the Oxford of today. Then, as now, one was tempted to fantasize one's surroundings as a Camelot of intellectual knight-errantry or an Eden of serene contemplation. Then, as now, there was bound to be disappointment. "

Education , Empathy

" Game shows are designed to make us feel better about the random, useless facts that are all we have left of our education. "

Chuck Palahniuk

Education

" There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent. "

Education

" A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is undeceived only when he is awakened from his slumber. "

Education , Inspirational

" The existence of guilty sense is soimportant in education and religion. "

Education , Guilt

" Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilised by education: they grow there, firm as weeds among stones. "

Charlotte Bront

Education , Prejudice
