Quotations
"Basic education links the children, whether of cities or the villages, to all that is best and lasting in India."
"The principal idea is to impart the whole education of the body, mind and soul through the handicraft that is taught to the children.” (Mahatma Gandhi)
"An education which does not teach us to discriminate between good and bad, to assimilate the one and eschew the other, is a misnomer."(Mahatma Gandhi)
"The aim of university education should be to turn out true servants of the people who will live and die for the country's freedom."(Mahatma Gandhi)
"The schools and colleges are really a factory for turning out clerks for Government."(Mahatma Gandhi)
“The real difficulty is that people have no idea of what education truly is. We assess the value of education in the same manner as we assess the value of land or of shares in the stock-exchange market. We want to provide only such education as would enable the student to earn more. We hardly give any thought to the improvement of the character of the educated. The girls, we say, do not have to earn; so why should they be educated? As long as such ideas persist there is no hope of our ever knowing the true value of education.” (M. K. Gandhi True Education on the NCTE site)

Famous quotes containing the word quotations:
“Reading any collection of a man’s quotations is like eating the ingredients that go into a stew instead of cooking them together in the pot. You eat all the carrots, then all the potatoes, then the meat. You won’t go away hungry, but it’s not quite satisfying. Only a biography, or autobiography, gives you the hot meal.”
—Christopher Buckley, U.S. author. A review of three books of quotations from Newt Gingrich. “Newtie’s Greatest Hits,” The New York Times Book Review (March 12, 1995)
“A book that furnishes no quotations is, me judice, no book—it is a plaything.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
