Education and Teaching , the essence found, in quotations & art.  

 

Students learn what they care about,

from people they care about,

and who they know care about them.

Barbara Harrell Carson

 

He who is learned is not wise;

he who is wise is not learned.

Lao Tzu

 

Education is not the filling of a pail,

but the lighting of a fire.

 William Butler Yeats

 

 

To live for a time close to great minds 

is the best kind of education.

Quote by John Buchan

 

Men must be taught as if you taught them not,

And things unknown proposed as things forgot.

Quotation by Alexander Pope

Children are educated by what the grown-up is 

and not by his talk.

Quote by Carl Gustav Jung

Intelligence is the capacity to perceive the essential, 

the what is;

and to awaken this capacity, in oneself and others, 

is education.

Quote by Jiddu Krishnamurti

And if education is always to be conceived

 along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, 

there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future.   

For what is the use of transmitting knowledge 

if the individual's total development lags behind?

Quotation by Maria Montessori

Without an integrated understanding of life,
 

our individual and collective problems will only deepen and extend.

 

The purpose of education

 

is not to produce mere scholars, technicians and job hunters,

 

but integrated men and women who are free of fear;

 

for only between such human beings

 

can there be enduring peace.

 

Quotation by J. Krishnamurti

The most important education you get is your own - 

the one you learn in solitude.

Quote by Erica Jong

A good society is one that helps each individual 

develop his or her genetic potential to the fullest. 

It provides opportunities for action to everyone: 

to the athlete and the poet, the merchant and the scholar. 

It does not bar anyone from doing what he or she does best, 

and guides everyone to discover what that is. 

A good society makes it possible for each person 

to develop the skills necessary 

to experience flow in socially productive activities. 

At the same time,

it guards against anyone's exploiting the psychic energy 

of another person for his or her own advantage.

Quotation by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
