Some great quotes on education (from Robert Kiyosaki’s book Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant):
“I am always ready to learn, but I do not always like being taught.” – Winston Churchill
“The founding fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on their parents. So they provided jails called school, equipped with tortures called education.” – John Updike
“Education is the state-controlled manufactory of echoes.” – Normal Douglas
“School days, I believe, are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, and brutal violations of common sense and common decency.” – H.L. Mencken
“There is too much education altogether, especially in American schools.” – Albert Einstein
“In times of change…learners inherit the earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” – Erik Hoffer
And my favorites…
“I never let schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark Twain
“You cannot teach a person anything; you can only help him find it within himself.” – Galileo
