1 Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. – Malcolm X
Education in its very essence is futuristic. It prepares you for a brighter tomorrow and equips you with all that is essential. It prepares you to face the good or bad by imparting knowledge that you learn in the present. Learn today so you can live better tomorrow.
2 Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. – Albert Einstein
School teaches you under a strict regimen and a certain rigidity. But that is not true education. Education starts when you yourself take the initiative to think outside the box and gain knowledge from the world around you. You have to unlearn a lot of things you have learnt in school because that won’t always work in the real world.
3 An investment in knowledge pays the best interest. – Benjamin Franklin
Education is an investment that will essentially never go to waste. It will always ensure a return on investment in some way or the other. If you ever want to invest time or money, use it to learn, read and know more. It will always help you in the future.
4 Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.” – Malcolm S. Forbes
We are taught in various ways since we are very young and have empty minds with no preconceived notions and assumptions. Education helps us look at everything in a different perception while making us more informed and aware about the world around us. It makes us open to new views and provides a new worldview.
5 A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read. – Mark Twain
Educating oneself is a conscious choice that an individual makes. But the one who chooses not to read and learn is no better than the one who cannot due to various reasons. For the latter, it is a compulsion and so they can’t. But whenever you have the chance, keep on learning and choose to read more
6 Learning is not compulsory. Neither is survival.- Dr. W. Edwards Deming
You live and survive only when you keep learning continuously. Life at the end of the day is survival of the fittest and to survive in this ever dynamic environment, one has to consume knowledge and keep on learning however he/she can.
7 Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. – Edward Everett
Education and literacy are always the safer options. There is no bloodshed, no lives are lost and yet the war can be won because only brains are at work. Education helps us make regulations and laws that safeguard people and countries. Education helps in establishing liberty.
8 Education is helping the child realise his potentialities.” – Eric Fromm
Education and knowledge should be a facilitator. It should not control the child but help him slowly realise what he/she is capable of and what they can do with that education. It should be a pathway for the child to walk on and not the actual destination.
9 Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it.“ – Marian Wright Edelman
Education is a shared community activity which brings together diverse people and communities. It helps you understand the world better and empathise with it. This induces the feeling to do better for the society and for yourself which leads to development of civilizations. It helps leave behind a better world for the coming generations.
10 Education is the methodical creation of the habit of thinking.” – Ernest Dimnet
Education, though not rigid, establishes a rhythm and discipline in life. It teaches us how to learn and what to make out of it. It inculcates the habit of thinking in us which makes us curious to know and learn more. Education brings a certain method to life.
11 The best teachers are those who show you where to look but don’t tell you what to see.” – Alexandra K. Trenfor
A teacher’s job is to show you all the different paths you could take to reach your destination, not pinpoint just one, the one that they believe is good and tell you to walk that way. The way you take is your decision and a good teacher fulfils their need when they make you aware of all the options and educate you so that you make the correct decision.
12 Education is learning what you didn’t know you didn’t know.” – George Boas
Education is learning about the unknown, not knowing that it was unknown to us all this while. It shows us things that we had never imagined we would come across. The unknown is not untouchable anymore and education has made it more accessible to the common man.
13 What we learn with pleasure we never forget.” – Alfred Mercier
You should always enjoy what you are doing and this goes for learning and education too. You would have noticed this before. You always retain and learn more when it is a subject of your liking. You find pleasure in learning more about it and are always up for learning more. So always learn with an open and curious mind.
14 A well-educated mind will always have more questions than answers.” —Helen Keller
An educated mind is always hungry to consume more and more knowledge. There is no way to fully satisfy it because it is always thinking and questioning. It is always curious as to the why and what’s in the world. The more you are educated, the more aware and informed you are and the more you want to learn.
