Karl MARX:
Last words are for fools who haven't said enough. |
|
Karl MARX:
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The
point, however, is to change it. |
Elijah MUHAMMAD: The education and training
of our children must not be limited to the “Three Rs” only. It should
instead include the history of
the black nation, the knowledge of civilizations of man and the
universe,
and all sciences. |
|
Isaac MURPHY: Just be honest. You may only
become rich in reputation, but they will record you as a
success. |
|
Cardinal John Henry NEWMAN: When, then, we
speak of the communication of Knowledge as being Education, we
thereby really imply that that Knowledge is a state or condition
of mind; and since cultivation of mind is surely worth seeking
for its own sake, we are thus brought once more to the
conclusion, which the word 'Liberal' and the word 'Philosophy'
have already suggested, that there is a Knowledge, which is
desirable, though nothing come of it, as being of itself a
treasure, and a sufficient remuneration of years of labor. |

NINOMIYA
Sontoku: The root of virtue is found in labor, and the loss of
virtue comes from idleness. |
|
U.S. President Barack OBAMA: At the end of
the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most
supportive parents, the best schools in the world—and none of it
will make a difference, none of it will matter unless all of you
fulfill your responsibilities, unless you show up to those
schools, unless you pay attention to those teachers, unless you
listen to your parents and grandparents and other adults and put
in the hard work it takes to succeed. That’s what I want to
focus on…the responsibility each of you has for your education. |
|
PLATO:
The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future
life. |
|
George Bernard SHAW:
Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than
we deserve. |
|
Publilius SYRUS:
It is only the ignorant who despise education. |
|
Booker T. WASHINGTON: Never get to the
point where you will be ashamed to ask anybody for information.
The ignorant man will always be ignorant if he fears that by
asking another for information he will display ignorance. Better
once display your ignorance of a certain subject than always
know nothing of it. |
|
Oscar WILDE:
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. |
|
Oscar WILDE:
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. |
|
Oscar WILDE:
The truth is rarely pure and never simple. |
|
Carter G. WOODSON: History shows that just
as thorough education in the
belief in the inequality of the races has brought the world to
the
cat-and-dog stage of religious and racial strife, so may
thorough
education in the equality of the races bring about a reign of
brotherhood
through an appreciation of all races, creeds, and colors. |
Carter G. WOODSON: The mere imparting of
information is not education.
Above all things, the effort must result in making a man think
and do for
himself. |
Malcolm X: History is a people’s memory,
and without a memory, man is
demoted to the lower animals. |
