Answer 1

Tis education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.

Bertrand Russell, Education and the Social Order

The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.
Plutarch, On Listening to Lectures

Plato, Greek philosopher (c. 428–c. 348)

Educate the heart. Let us have good men.
Hiram Powers, American sculptor (1805-1873)

Education would be much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every student should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.

H. Narasimhaiah

Don't worry that children never listen to you. Worry that they are always watching you.
Robert Fulghum, American author (b. 1937)

I've come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. My personal approach creates a climate. My daily mood makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess tremendous power to make a child's life miserable or joyous. I can be the tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or humor. Hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or de-humanized.
Haim Ginott

The best way to teach morality is to make it a habit with children.
Aristotle, Greek philosopher (384-322 B.C.)

Example has more followers than reason.
Christian Nevell Bovee, American author and lawyer (1820-1904)

The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.
John Lubbock (1834-1913)

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.
Joseph Stalin

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
Omar N. Bradley, American general (1893-1981)

I just love the idea of a school in which people come to get educated and stay in the state in which they're educated.
George W. Bush, Waco, Texas, August 13, 2002

The public education system in America is one of the most important foundations of our democracy. After all, it is where children from all over America learn to be responsible citizens, and learn to have the skills necessary to take advantage of the fantastic opportunistic society.
George W. Bush, Santa Clara, California, May 1, 2002

Education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin ... the great equalizer of the conditions of men - the balance-wheel of the social machinery. It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich; it prevents being poor.
Horace Mann

I know, (there is) no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of society, but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.
Thomas Jefferson in an 1820 letter to William C. Jarvis

Schools should be factories in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products. . . manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry.
Elwood Cubberly, future Dean of education at Stanford, in his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College.

Ninety-nine [students] out of a hundred are automata, careful to walk in prescribed paths, careful to follow the prescribed custom. This is not an accident but the result of substantial education, which, scientifically defined, is the subsumption of the individual.
William Torrey Harris, US Commissioner of Education, in his 1906 book The Philosophy of Education [2]

The great purpose of school can be realized better in dark, airless, ugly places. … It is to master the physical self, to transcend the beauty of nature. School should develop the power to withdraw from the external world.
William Torrey Harris, US Commissioner of Education, in his 1906 book The Philosophy of Education [3]

We want one class to have a liberal education. We want another class, a very much larger class of necessity, to forego the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.
Woodrow Wilson in a speech to businessmen
