"Education is the state-controlled manufacture of echoes."	(George) Norman Douglas
"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent. The slogan press on has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race. No person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."	(John) Calvin Coolidge
"Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils."	(Louis) Hector Berlioz
"Teachers believe they have a gift for giving; it drives them with the same irrepressible drive that drives others to create a work of art or a market or a building."	A(ngelo) Bartlett Giamatti
"A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching."	A(ngelo) Bartlett Giamatti
"Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process."	A(ngelo) Bartlett Giamatti
"A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching."	A(ngelo) Bartlett Giamatti
"Our bombs are smarter than the average high school student. At least they can find Kuwait."	A. Whitney Brown
"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives."	Abba Eban
"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves."	Abbe Dimnet
"My father taught me to work; he did not teach me to love it."	Abraham Lincoln
"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to permit the conquered Eastern peoples to have arms. History teaches that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by doing so."	Adolf Hitler
"The best audience is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk."	Alben William Barkley
"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action."	Albert Einstein
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything one learned in school."	Albert Einstein
"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."	Albert Einstein
"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."	Albert Einstein
"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education."	Albert Einstein
"The point is to develop the childlike inclination for play and the childlike desire for recognition and to guide the child over to important fields for society. Such a school demands from the teacher that he be a kind of artist in his province."	Albert Einstein
"The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a perparation for his future career."	Albert Einstein
