“The job of an educator is to teach students to see vitality in themselves”

“Education is the sum of what students teach each other between lectures and seminars.”

“Our task is to educate their (our students) whole being so they can face the future. We may not see the future, but they will and our job is to help them make something of it.”

“Teachers don't just teach; they can be vital personalities who help young people to mature, to understand the world, and to understand themselves. A good education consists of much more than useful facts and marketable skills.”

“The time [will] come when a thousand students [will] be assembled on the hill for the purpose of seeing an education.”

“Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.”

“Choosing education is a very good decision, not only good for the student, but also for our country. The United States was the first nation in history to recognize that public education for every citizen, regardless of class or station, was vital to its future...”

“This is truly a revolutionary proposal: all Americans will get the college education or job training they need, while having all student debt forgiven.”

“Educators ought to know better than their pupils what an education is. If the educators do not, they have wasted their lives. The art of teaching consists in large part of interesting people in things that ought to interest them, but do not. The task of educators is to discover what an education is and then to invent the methods of interesting their students in it.”

“The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one.”
