In a posting I made today was about the importance of education among us, education is closely associated with motivation, since motivation must come from a good education. therefore, people without education is like a fruitless tree. so education is very important, and from now on let us fix ourselves with human characteristics show a well-educated. the experts expressed the importance of education as listed below.

 "The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."  [Bill Beattie]

"An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life."  [Author Unknown]

"It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense."  [Robert G. Ingersoll]

"To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks."  [A.A. Milne]


"Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education.  Probably, no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization.  We must make our choice; we cannot have both."  [Abraham Flexner]

"Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army." [Edward Everett]

"Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding."  [Ezra Pound]

"Education should be exercise; it has become massage."  [Martin H. Fischer]

"The object of education is to prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives." [Robert Maynard Hutchins]

"He who opens a school door, closes a prison." [Victor Hugo]

"Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail.  What you gain at one end you lose at the other.  It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.  It won't fatten the dog."  [Mark Twain]

"My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects."  [Robert Maynard Hutchins]

''Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."  [Will Durant]

"Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?"  [Erich Fromm]

"Education aims to give you a boost up the ladder of knowledge.  Too often, it just gives you a cramp on one of its rungs."  [Martin H. Fischer]

"Education would be much more effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it."  [
William Haley]
