Quote of the Day-November 25, 2009

32) "Education has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading."

- G. M. Trevelyan


The fact is that everyone has formed the ability to read and understand. Though, they only read what they want than something that is more better (as to have a great knowledge). Better to say that this population has developed the habit to read something that has little value, than something that is better to be learned about.

31) "You don't need fancy highbrow traditions and money to really learn. You just need people with the desire to better themselves."


- Adam Cooper and Bill Collage


What I think this means is that you just need to be around people who really want to learn and not laze out. So, If I may might add too...I would say that people who want to learn also have to get what they need to learn.

30) "Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained."

- James A. Garfield

What I think this means is that education is the foundation of many things such as:
- Freedom
- Justice
- Jobs/Careers
- Help keep the family together
- Be healthy
and so many other things. The basic has to be known so that the rest doesn't throw you away.

29) "Only the educated are free."

-Epictetus

This verse must have come out of the times where only whites had education. Anyways, things have changed and now this quote has meant something else. So, I think this means that the people who know at least the necessary, will survive more easy and faster.

Quote of the Day-November 17, 2009

28) "The foundation of every state is the education of its youth."


- Diogenes Latirus


What I think this quote means is that the basic thing everyone has to have is their education. Without it, the group will fall due to the fact that no other person knows what is the right thing to do.

Quote of the Day-November 13, 2009

27) "Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him."

- Dr. Thomas Fuller


What I think this means is that even if a person has education (be smart and learn his or her manners), they are still missing one little thing. This little thing doesn't look so small when it's alone. This missing element would be to not be shy; and show that this person has a voice to express what they feel.

Quote of the Day-November 10, 2009

26) "Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

- B. F. Skinner

Basically, this means that when the materialistic stuff has been forgotten, your knowledge will still be with you. No matter what, your knowledge will always stick with you (except if you get Alzheimer disease, or if your dead).

Quote of the Day-November 6, 2009

25) "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

-Aristotle

An intelligent person would say something that many would think is true. Though, It is he who will not believe it. I don't know, but I think this leads to no confidence to that person later.

24) "If time flies when you are having fun, it hits the afterburners when you don't think you're having enough."

-Jeff Mallet

It directly means that if you don't have limits when you're having fun...then you'll be in trouble. I'll become an addiction instead of a fun activity.

23) "Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We loose as much to life as we do to death."

- Elizabeth Forsythe

I guess it means that time is cruel to us because it limits our time in life. Till we die, we loose everything we own and also after we die.
