Found these and enjoyed them, so I thought I'd post for posterity:
Ariel and Will Durant:
Education is the transmission of civilization.
Bertrand Russell:
I found one day in school a boy of medium size ill-treating a smaller boy. I expostulated, but he replied: 'The bigs hit me, so I hit the babies; that's fair.' In these words he epitomized the history of the human race. (Education and the Social Order)
Charlotte Bronte:
Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among rocks.
Douglas Adams:
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
George Bernard Shaw:
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry.
Henry Steele Commager:
Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change. Education is essential to change, for education creates both new wants and the ability to satisfy them.
Lord Brougham:
Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.
John F. Kennedy:
Remember that our nation's first great leaders were also our first great scholars.
John Adams:
Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially for the lower classes of people, are so extremely wise and useful that to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant.
Thomas Jefferson:
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
