Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

It is as impossible to withhold education from the receptive mind as it is impossible to force it upon the unreasoning. - Agnes Repplierg

Education aims to give you a boost up the ladder of knowledge.

Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all. - Aristotle

He who opens a school door, closes a prison.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. - Ben Franklin

To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.

To teach a man how he may learn to grow independently, and for himself, is perhaps the greatest service that one man can do another.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
