Famous quotes containing the word education:

    “‘Tis well enough for a servant to be bred at an University. But the education is a little too pedantic for a gentleman.”
    —William Congreve (1670–1729)

    “Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative.”
    —John Dewey (1859–1952)
