Granted, not all uneducated women are prostitutes, and, not all prostitutes are uneducated. However, where building a family is employment, an uneducated woman's womb is her diploma.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

School programs the schooled to type a CV. Life inspires the unschooled to type a business plan.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Education inspires the educated to think for themselves. Schooled programs the schooled to work for others.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

A diploma is a piece of paper that is used to acquire another piece of paper: an employment contract.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Just as a CEO could care less about pay equity, the university administrator is unconcerned with how many of her program graduates secure employment of any particular quality.

Joseph Ohler

An education system is best belittled when the so-called educated gets hired by a company that’s owned by a so-called dropout.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

School is a factory where the raw material called student is turned into a product called employee.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

You know you are capitalism’s ideal puppet (and that education betrayed you) when winning the lottery is your only chance to realizing financial freedom.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

If being seen as worthy of employing is the best that school does for the schooled, then school is overrated.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

If we agree that the education, employment and retirement continuum is no longer a linear “cradle to grave” construct, then several tools for managing this reality are increasingly proving redundant. Job descriptions used for hiring are one such example. Hiring managers often write these as a reflection of their own experiences, ignoring the fact that we are entering an era where the emphasis should be less on ready competence and more on transferable skills.

Gyan Nagpal

One can earn a thousand credentials but remain unemployed.

Joseph Ohler

A vagina is an uneducated woman’s diploma.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

School fools a lot of people. Professionally, one thing is not the most that one person can be.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Somebody is born. Somebody goes to school. Somebody learns to conform. Somebody types a CV. Somebody gets a job. Somebody follows orders. Somebody gets a golden watch. And then, eventually, Somebody dies. And, a Nobody is buried.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Employment was invented to make education seem useful.

Mokokoma Mokhonoana

The essence of education is not to get a certificate or job but, to be a holistically developed person who can positively impact the society.

Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha

Vision differentiates between a follower and a leader.

Debasish Mridha

Education stuffs you full of ideas without the coinciding experience that gave rise to those ideas in the first place, giving you incorrect perspective and notions.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Happiness is an inner perception, not an outer realistic conception.

Debasish Mridha

Happiness is not in perfection but it is a perception in the midst of imperfection.

Debasish Mridha

Happiness is there when perceptions and expectations are in joyful harmony.

Debasish Mridha

Our happiness or misery depends upon our perception, not on the situation.

Debasish Mridha

Thanks is part to our education system, we tend to think that we're smarter than the stupid guys in funny wigs who came before us. But that's because we are mistaking technology, progress, and access to information for intelligence. We think that because we know how to use iPhones (but not build them), browse the Internet (but not understand how it works), and use Google (but not really know anything), our educational system is working just great. By the same token, we think that those dumb aristocrats who used horses to get around and didn't have electricity were neanderthals.

Glenn Beck

Schoolboy days are no happier than the days of afterlife, but we look back upon them regretfully because we have forgotten our punishments at school and how we grieved when our marbles were lost and our kites destroyed – because we have forgotten all the sorrows and privations of the canonized ethic and remember only its orchard robberies, its wooden-sword pageants, and its fishing holidays.

Mark Twain

You're so haunted by other people's futures that you forget, the only future you cannot see is your own.

The function of the educator is to discover in each individual child the gifts implanted in her by Almighty God and to develop and dedicate them to His service.

Elizabeth Goudge

The moral purpose of every human life should be to attain happiness through service to humanity.

Debasish Mridha

Happiness is the ultimate purpose of our life and you find it in service.

Debasish Mridha

There is only one way to happiness and that is through service.

Debasish Mridha

Life becomes invaluable when we spend it in the service of others.

Debasish Mridha

Education is a choice. We don't become educated by watching television, and we don't learn a whole lot having similar conversations with the same, safe people day after day. Our education comes from pushing up against boundaries, from taking risks that may seem at first to be overwhelming, and by persevering past the first disappointments or shortfalls until we reach a point at which actual learning takes place. Determination and perseverance are absolutely vital to developing a true education--rarely, if ever, do we learn the most valuable lessons in the first few steps of the journey.

Tom Walsh

Graduating from college doesn't mean you're smart, said Mike Mussina who graduated from Stanford in 3 1/2 years, but it does mean you're smart enough to know that having a college degree would be a good thing.

John Feinstein

In Anton Chekhov’s play the Three Sisters, sister Masha refuses ‘to live and not know why the cranes fly, why children are born, why the stars are in the sky. Either you know and you’re alive or it’s all nonsense, all dust in the wind.’ Why? Why? The striving to know is what frees us from the bonds of self, said Einstein. It’s the striving to know, rather than our knowledge-which is always tentative and partial- that is important. Instead of putting computers in our elementary schools, we should take the children out into nature, away from those virtual worlds in which they spend unconscionable hours, and let them see an eclipsed Moon rising in the east, a pink pearl. Let them stand in a morning dawn and watch a slip of a comet fling its trail around the Sun…Let the children know. Let them know that nothing, nothing will find in the virtual world of e-games, television, or the Internet matters half as much as a glitter of strs on an inky sky, drawing our attention into the incomprehensible mystery of why the universe is here at all, and why we are here to observe it. The winter Milky Way rises in the east, one trillion individually invisible points of light, one trillion revelations of the Ultimate Mystery, conferring on the watcher a dignity, a blessedness, that confounds the dull humdrum of the commonplace and opens a window to infinity.

Chet Raymo

Education about gender and peace is important. Educational strategies to promote peace must consider all relations of dominance.

Widad Akreyi

To train a citizen is to train a critic. The whole point of education is that it should give a man abstract and eternal standards, by which he can judge material and fugitive conditions.

G.K. Chesterton

Aside from the straightforwardly visible curriculum, there is the hidden curriculum. This exists in the wider set of beliefs and values pupils acquire because of the way that a school is run and its teaching organized. It is about the behaviour of the teachers, the textbooks chosen, the school rules.

Gary Thomas

You must completely dedicate yourselves to it. To do less will be to let down your country, your state, your parents, your teachers, and ultimately, yourselves. Remember this: The only good citizen is the well-educated citizen.

Homer Hickam

Service is the highest form of worship.

Debasish Mridha

A friend is he who can feel your heart's beating and dance with it when it is joyful, cry with it when it is torn, and inspire when it is in need.

Debasish Mridha

If your vision inspires others to see their dreams and your actions motivate them to realize it, then you are a leader.

Debasish Mridha

A leader creates a new way to success for followers and inspires them to follow him toward the ultimate purpose.

Debasish Mridha

We must strive for literacy and education that teach us to never quit questioning and probing at the assumptions of the day.

Bryant McGill

Nothing is so much coveted by a young man as the reputation of being a genius; and many seem to feel that the want of patience for laborious application and deep research is such a mark of genius as cannot be mistaken: while a real genius, like Sir Isaac Newton, with great modesty says, that the great and only difference between his mind and the minds of others consisted solely in his having more patience.

John Todd

To get matured, you must have an education in the School of Solitude!

Mehmet Murat ildan

To live forever, die in the service of others.

Debasish Mridha

When you're looking for successNever forget to live in happiness.

Debasish Mridha

Happiness depends not on what happens in your life, but how you live your life.

Debasish Mridha

..it lay in the true function of the university to promote that interplay of view, that discussion and dispute, that cumulative narrowing down of possibilities that led to the formation of accurate opinion. The students could be, as it were (he said), the rubbing post for the thought of his teacher.

Malcolm Bradbury

No matter where you are, you are just one thought away from happiness. Forget everything; just think about happiness and everything will change.

Debasish Mridha

Watch a man--say, a politician--being interviewed on television, an you are observing a demonstration of what both he and his interrogators learned in school: all questions have answers, and it is a good thing to give an answer even if there is none to give, even if you don't understand the question, even if the question contains erroneous assumptions, even if you are ignorant of the facts required to answer. Have you ever heard a man being interviewed say, "I don't have the faintest idea," or "I don't know enough even to guess," or "I have been asked that question before, but all my answers to it seem to be wrong?" One does not "blame" men, especially if they are politicians, for providing instant answers to all questions. The public requires that they do, since the public has learned that instant answer giving is the most important sign of an educated man.

Neil Postman

The chains had fallen from her leg, but not from her mind.

Margaret Landon

Kids can and will thrive in the right conditions, but it all seems to start with the teachers, and giving those teachers the resources to teach- and not just to test.

Morgan Spurlock

Jefferson also founded the first intentionally secularized university in America. His vision for the University of Virginia was for education finally free from traditional Christian dogma. He had a disdain for the influence that institutional Christianity had on education. At the University of Virginia there was no Christian curriculum and the school had no chaplain.

Daryl C. Cornett

[America]'s higher education system is excellent, both in terms of quality and accessibility. Here anybody can go to college. Many countries simply can't accommodate many students. And by the way, most people who came here in the seventies came to get an education. They didn't wake up one morning and say, 'I'm going to America to be free.' they said, 'I'll go there to get an education.' That's an important distinction. It was only after they were here for a while that they fully appreciated the freedoms we enjoy here.

Mahbod Seraji

Jefferson's fear was that without such a system of public education, the country would end up being ruled by a privileged elite that would recycle itself through a network of private institutions that entrenched their advantages.

Fareed Zakaria

All that has been said of the importance of individuality of character, and diversity in opinions andmodes of conduct, involves, as of the same unspeakable importance, diversity of education. A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another: and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the predominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, a priesthood, an aristocracy, or the majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by natural tendency to one over the body. An education established andcontrolled by the State should only exist, if it exist at all, as one amongmany competing experiments, carried on for the purpose of example and stimulus, to keep the others up to a certain standard of excellence.

John Stuart Mill

The most urgent necessity is, not that the State should teach, but that it should allow education. All monopolies are detestable, but the worst of all is the monopoly of education.

Frédéric Bastiat
