"Travel is educational; it teaches you how to get rid of money in a hurry."	S. Barry Lipkin
"Education is about the only thing lying around loose in the world, and it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much of as he's willing to haul away."	George Lorimer
"Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books."	Sir John Lubbock
"A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight."	Martin Luther
"Teach thy tongue to say 'I do not know' and thou shalt progress."	Moses Ben Maimon Maimonides
"The basic problem is that our civilization, which is a civilization of machines, can teach man everything except how to be a man."	Andre Malraux
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."	Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela
"Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity."	Horace Mann
"A teacher who is attempting to teach without inspiring the pupil with a desire to learn is hammering on a cold iron."	Horace Mann
"Teach us, O Lord, the disciplines of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work."	Peter Marshall
"I cannot help but wonder whether, by continuing and expanding the school lunch program, we aren't witnessing, if not encouraging, the slow demise of yet another American tradition: the brown bag. ... Perhaps we are beholding yet another break in the chain that links child to home."	Charles Mathias, Jr.
"I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies."	Christa McAuliffe
"What should we emphasize in our teaching? We learn much from Paul's letters to Timothy and Titus. Paul mentored each and sent them out to the churches to encourage and instruct God's Children of Grace. Notice how often Paul uses the words 'command,' 'warn,' and 'remind' in his letters to Timothy and Titus. God wants us to be loving and gentle in the way we teach His children, but He also wants us to be strong, precise and decisive in what we declare. We are not 'asking' Christians to obey God's Word. We are 'telling' them what God commands. We have no special power in ourselves, but when we preach God's Word we have the 'Power' of God behind us! Our preaching and teaching should be in the 'Power and Strength' of God. He gave us the responsibility and authority to declare His Word. We do it humbly, but we do it."	Mark McGee
"Paul's evangelistic mission was different from the Kingdom Apostles, but in many ways the same. The Kingdom Apostles preached Jesus the Messiah, ready to return to Israel and set up His Messianic Kingdom. From Israel, the Apostles, with Christ on David's Throne, were to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to observe everything Christ had commanded them. They would do that because all authority in heaven and on earth had been given to Christ. As we all know, that did not happen. It will happen in the future, but it has not yet happened. What has happened is that Christ revealed a Mystery through His Special Apostle Paul."	Mark McGee
"The aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment at all; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to put down dissent and originality."	Henry Louis Mencken
"School days are the unhappiest in the whole span of human existence. They are full of dull, unintelligible tasks, new and unpleasant ordinances, with brutal violations of common sense and common decency."	Henry Louis Mencken
"Teaching a child not to step on a caterpillar is as valuable to the child as it is to the caterpillar."	Bradley Miller
"The aim of the college, for the individual student, is to eliminate the need in his life for the college; the task is to help him become a self-educating man."	C. Wright Mills
"I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education."	Wilson Mizner
