"Education is a progressive discovery of our ignorance."	William James "Will" Durant
"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives."	Abba Eban
"The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others."	Tryon Edwards

"By academic freedom I understand the right to search for truth and to publish and teach what one holds to be true. This right implies also a duty: one must not conceal any part of what on has recognized to be true. It is evident that any restriction on academic freedom acts in such a way as to hamper the dissemination of knowledge among the people and thereby impedes national judgment and action."	Albert Einstein
"Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything one learned in school."	Albert Einstein
"One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community."	Albert Einstein

"The crippling of individuals I consider the worst evil of capitalism. Our whole educational system suffers from this evil. An exaggerated competitive attitude is inculcated into the student, who is trained to worship acquisitive success as a perparation for his future career."	Albert Einstein
"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge."	Albert Einstein
"From this day forward, the millions of our schoolchildren will daily proclaim in every city and town, every village and rural schoolhouse, the dedication of our nation and our people to the Almighty." (On signing law for inclusion of the words 'under God' in the Pledge of Allegiance, 14 Jun 54)"	Dwight David Eisenhower
"I could have spoken from Rhode Island where I have been staying ... But I felt that, in speaking from the house of Lincoln, of Jackson, and of Wilson, my words would better convey both the sadness I feel in the action I was compelled today to make and the firmness with which I intend to pursue this course until the orders of the federal court at Little Rock can be executed without unlawful interference." (On sending troops to enforce integration in Little Rock AR High School)"	Dwight David Eisenhower
"We have inadvertently designed a system in which being good at what you do as a teacher is not formally rewarded, while being poor at what you do is seldom corrected nor penalized."	Elliot Wayne Eisner
"Teach us to care and not to care. Teach us to sit still."	George Eliot
"The years teach much which the days never know."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
