We are
commanded to love God with all our minds, as well as with
all our hearts, and we commit a great sin if we forbid or
prevent that cultivation of the mind in others which would
enable them to perform this duty.
-- Angelina Grimke
1805-1879, American
Abolitionist, Feminist
Education
would be so much more effective if its purpose were to
ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl
should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a
lifelong desire to know it.
-- Sir William Haley
Higher
education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of
human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new,
that man does not live by bread alone.
-- John A. Hannah
Anyone who has
passed through the regular gradations of a classical
education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider
himself as having had a very narrow escape.
-- William Hazlitt
1778-1830, British Essayist

Education is
the art of making man ethical.
-- Georg Hegel
1770-1831, German Philosopher
Much learning
does not teach understanding.
-- Heraclitus
BC 535-475, Greek Philosopher
Education at
school continues what has been done at home: it crystallizes
the optical illusion, consolidates it with book learning,
theoretically legitimizes the traditional trash and trains
the children to know without understanding and to accept
denominations for definitions. Astray in his conceptions,
entangled in words, man loses the flair for truth, the taste
for nature. What a powerful intellect must you possess, to
be suspicious of this moral carbon dioxide and with your
head swimming already, to hurl yourself out of it into the
fresh air, with which, into the bargain, everyone round is
trying to scare you!
-- Alexander Herzen
1812-1870, Russian
Journalist, Political Thinker
Education is
the ability to meet life's situations.
-- Dr. John G. Hibben
