19 Quotes About Education to Inspire Learning

Education is the most powerful tool that we have.

We truly believe that education has the power to transform lives, to bring the darkness into light, to move us from intolerance to understanding, and to change societies for the better.

We think that true education goes beyond what’s learned in school. Of course it’s important for all of us to master reading, writing, and arithmetic. The subjects we study in our years of school give us knowledge that we need for the time after we leave school. These skills help us to build our careers and our lives.

But education is also about learning to see things from different perspectives. It’s not just the acquisition of knowledge, but also of skills. It’s not just about developing our own morals, values, beliefs, and habits, but about understanding those of others. No wonder so many incredible (and dare we say educated) people have made such lofty statements about education!

Not only is education important, but we also think it’s fun! When you find a topic that interests you, it opens up your eyes to new worlds! We know from experience that when we’re intrigued by new information, we feel inspired and motivated to learn everything we can! Plus, there are so many ways to learn - from books to online courses, in-person classes to YouTube. There is always a resource to help you discover new information, ask new questions, or learn a new skill.

Ultimately, education is never wasted. Learning is important and what we do with that learning is even more important.

Here are 18 quotes to inspire you to learn something new every day and to remind you that there is always more to learn!
