Education Quotes - Alan Simpson Quotes
An educated man … is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style.
- Alan Simpson
Any education that matters is liberal. All the saving truths, all the healing graces that distinguish a good education from a bad one or a full education from a half empty one are contained in that word.
- Alan Simpson
[The word liberal ] distinguishes whatever nourishes the mind and spirit from the training which is merely practical or professional or from the trivialities which are no training at all.
- Alan Simpson
A society like ours, which professes no one religion and has allowed all religions to decay, which indulges freedom to the point of license and individualism to the point of anarchy, needs all the support that responsible, cultivated homes can furnish. I hope your generation will provide a firmer shelter for civilized standards.
- Alan Simpson

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
- Albert Einstein
If you look back in history, you will find the core mission of public education in America was to create places of civic virtue for our children and for our society. As education undergoes the rigors of re-examination and the need for reinvention, it is cruicial to remember that the key role of public schools is to preserve democracy and, that as battered as we might be, our mission is central to the future of this county.
- Paul D. Houston
Education is much more than a matter of imparting the knowledge and skills by which narrow goals are achieved. It is also about opening the child’s eyes to the needs and rights of others.
- the Dalai Lama
