If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

- Derek Bok

There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One is roots; the other, wings. Hodding Carter:

"Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly." Thomas H. Huxley  

"I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education."

Wilson Mizner .

"Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night." Edgar Allan Poe .

"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not ?' " George Bernard Shaw

A mind without instruction can no more bear fruit than can a field, however fertile, without cultivation.  Cicero

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.  Anatole France

Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

- Socrates

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

- Oscar Wilde

Ah, great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end, the dream is true!  Edwin Markham

Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions. Edgar Cayce

"Children Are the Hands by Which We Take Hold of Heaven"- Henry Ward Beacher

Answer 3

if you dont dream big what's the use of dreaming or today's kid's are tomorrows future or there are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning my fav is this quote i work in special ed as an aide until i get my degree and this quote reminds me of these kids everyday "Kids don't lack capacity,only teachers" because these kids can do so much more than what most people believe =)

EDIT:: just thought of another one i heard the other day

Our children are our only hope for the future, but we are their only hope for their present and their future

When you put faith, hope and love together you can raise positive kids in a negative world
