“The mere imparting of information is not education.” — Carter G. Woodson Quote

“The mere imparting of information is not education.”

“In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money.”

“In our so-called democracy we are accustomed to give the majority what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them.”

“What you do in Oklahoma with tigers in these roadside zoos would be frowned on if it opened in the L.A. basin or New York. I think it's a lack of education. And people believe we should be able to have a tiger, because this is America - who should stop us?”

“To penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education.”

“Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible.”
