"I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better than book or orator."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral."
John Burroughs
"For Scripture is the school of the Holy Spirit, in which, as nothing is omitted that is both necessary and useful to know, so nothing is taught but what is expedient to know. Therefore we must guard against depriving believers of anything disclosed about predestination in Scripture, lest we seem either wickedly to defraud them of the blessing of their God or to accuse and scoff at the Holy Spirit for having published what it is in any way profitable to suppress."
John Calvin
"...since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned."
John Holt
"Do you not see how necessary a world of pains and troubles is to school an intelligence and make it a soul?"
John Keats
"It is easy enough to praise men for the courage of their convictions. I wish I could teach the sad young men of this mealy generation the courage of their confusion."
John Anthony Ciardi
"Who dares to teach must never cease to learn."
John Cotton Dana
"It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"A child miseducated is a child lost."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"I want to emphasize in the great concentration which we now place upon scientists and engineers how much we still need the men and women educated in the liberal tradition, willing to take the long look, undisturbed by prejudices and slogans of the moment, who attempt to make an honest judgment on difficult events."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"When Alexander the Great visited Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for the famed teacher, Diogenes replied, 'Only stand out of my light.' Perhaps some day we shall know how to heighten creativity. Until then, one of the best things we can do for creative men and women is to stand out of their light."
John W(illiam) Gardner
"The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else."
John W(illiam) Gardner
"What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul."
Joseph Addison
"I do not believe that sheer suffering teaches. If suffering alone taught, all the world would be wise, since everyone suffers. To suffering must be added mourning, understanding, patience, love, openness and the willingness to remain vulnerable."
Joseph Addison
"To teach is to learn twice."
Joseph Joubert
"I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers."
Kahlil Gibran
"Education sows not seeds in you, but makes your seeds grow."
Kahlil Gibran
"Education is what most receive, many pass on, and few possess."
Karl Kraus
"Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other."
Kurt Herbert Alder
