It is very
nearly impossible... to become an educated person in a
country so distrustful of the independent mind.
-- James Baldwin
1924-1987, American Author
The paradox of
education is precisely this -- that as one begins to become
conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is
being educated.
-- James Baldwin
1924-1987, American Author
Education is
the knowledge of how to use the whole of oneself. Many men
use but one or two faculties out of the score with which
they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a
tool of every faculty--how to open it, how to keep it sharp,
and how to apply it to all practical purposes.
-- Henry Ward Beecher
1813-1887, American Preacher,
Orator, Writer
Our schools
should get five years to get back to where they were in
1963. If they're still bad maybe we should declare
educational bankruptcy, give the people their money and let
them educate themselves and start their own schools
-- William John Bennett
1943-, American Federal
Official
