Quotes contain nuggets of truth on education

I like all of these; they each contain some truth.

Strange “education” quotes:

“In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.” — Mark Twain

“Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.” — B.F. Skinner

“The advantage of a classical education is that it enables you to despise the wealth which it prevents you from achieving.” —Russell Green

“Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theater.” — Gail Godwin

“Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.” — Joseph Addison
