2 Learning is not child’s play, we cannot learn without pain. -Aristotle
Pain is the greatest teacher. The most important lessons in life are taught to us when we walk through paths of suffering and pain. We cannot learn anything without having to experience pain, may it be when we are learning to walk or when we are learning to live.
3 Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. -Aristotle
The greatest education is moral education. You can learn everything there is to know but if your heart is corrupt, there’s no point to any of it. Keep a clean heart and know right from wrong.
4 I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. –Lily Tomlin

5 Let us remember: one book, one pen, one child and one teacher can change the world. –Malala Yousafzai

6 Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world. –Nelson Mandela
Education is what makes you capable enough to rise above preconceived erroneous notions that only hold you back. It makes you capable of independent thought and judging things for what they really are. It is only with education that you can change the world.
7 Develop a passion for learning, If you do, you will never cease to grow. –Anthony J. D’angelo
Growth comes with learning. Be curious and be passionate. Only those who learn shall have a place for them in the future. The key to the future is in education.
8 Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. -Malcolm x
Education is the most powerful weapon that one can possess in this era. It enables you to adapt to the changing times and empowers you with intellectual capacity and an open mind to accept different perspectives, an ability that is of paramount importance today. The students are tomorrow’s warriors and education, the sword that they’ll be armed with.
9 Education doesn’t just make us smarter, it makes us whole. -Jill Biden
Education completes us. Without it, in this day and age, we are incomplete laymen who’ll always be chained up by our ignorance. Education refines us and arms us with the tools that are needed to weather the storms that life brings upon us.
10 The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. -B.B King
Learning is a lifelong process and not just confined to the four walls of a classroom or the pages of a book. Every experience that you have in life is a lesson. No one can take away that from you.
11 High school is about finding who you are, because that’s more important than trying to be someone else. -Nick Jonas
What point is there in trying to be someone else? School is the time when you learn more about yourself, when you explore your horizons and break your limits. Be yourself regardless of what others say

Education is not about memorising a few formulas and being able to reproduce it word-to-word. The aim of education is to liberate you and give you the capacity to think freely, to question all preconceived, erroneous notions and find answers to questions that plague us.
15 Intelligence plus character, that is the goal of true education. -Martin Luther King Jr
True education aims to build character and enhance intelligence. Just knowing a few formulas gets you nowhere. True education is in the ability to think critically and to act with morals and ethics.
16 Education is not the filling of a pot but the lighting of a fire. –W.B. Yeats
Education is not about filling your brains with thousands of worthless pieces of information but lighting up a fire within you. It should aim to set you free.
17 The job of an educator is to teach students to see vitality in themselves. –Joseph Campbell

22 Once you learn to read, you will be forever free. -Frederick Douglass
Knowledge and education sets you free. It brings you independence and hope. A literate person is always more liberated than one who is confined by his ignorance.
23 Illiteracy is the poison and a book is its antidote. -Mansi Chaubey
Illiteracy is the worst kind of pandemic that may plague a nation. It manifests itself in their ignorance and often leads to disastrous endings. Books are the only thing that may save such a nation from impending doom.
24 Literacy is not the end of education nor even the beginning. -Mahatma Gandhi
Education does not end with literacy. It is an incessant process. Just being able to read books is not enough. You need to be able to acquire knowledge, to experience real life, to think critically and act with morals.
25 It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. -Aristotle

Art is what sets our hearts free and lights a fire in our souls. To embrace art and be lost in its depths is to find our true selves and break free of the petty shackles that enslave us.
