I just saw via Twitter this image titled «The 10 best phrases about education»:
It is clear that content creators really like to publish articles like "The 10 best blablabla". It is clear that this is something subjective because although the sentences above are very good I have found other 5 that in my opinion they have nothing to envy at 10 above:
1) The first date is from Diego Luis Cordoba (1907-1964), a Colombian politician residing in the area with the largest black population in all of Colombia and who managed to found an independent Department called Chocó:
"Through ignorance one descends into servitude, through education one ascends to freedom."
2) The next two sentences correspond to Confused, the famous Chinese thinker:
«They told me about it and I forgot it; I saw and understood; I did it and I learned it. "
3) Confusion:
"Learning without thinking is wasting energy.
4) I could not miss this great phrase from Buddha:
To teach others, first you have to do something very hard: you have to straighten yourself out.
5) Finally, I found this poetic phrase from Horace mann, botanical:
"The teacher who tries to teach without inspiring in the student the desire to learn is trying to forge a cold iron."
To put the icing on these inspiring phrases I am going to leave you with a video that collects other great quotes from the best educators and that I hope they serve as motivation to those who are in charge of educating our children:
