My Favorite Quotes on Education

By Lara DeHaven

Regardless of your position on the state of our educational system, I am sure that we can all agree that people need education. How they are educated leads to different opinions and philosophies. As a homeschooling mom as well as a certified teacher for public education, education has always been one of my interests. So, I wanted to share five of my favorite quotes on education by arguably very smart and famous people.

1. I have never let my schooling interfere with my education. Mark Twain

2. Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality. Beatrix Potter

3. Education is not a preparation for life; education is life itself. John Dewey

4. Everybody is a genius. But, if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will spend its whole life believing it is stupid. Albert Einstein

5. A room without books is like a body without a soul. Cicero
