Richard Mitchell Quotes

Educationists are entertaining. We can always find a good laugh in their prose, with its special, ludicrous combination of ignorance and pretentiousness Picture Quote #1

Education, I am convinced, must be nothing more than this: The journey toward the limits of Reason, if any there be Picture Quote #1

There is only one remedy for ignorance and thoughtlessness, and that is literacy. Millions and millions of children would today stand in no need of sex education or consumer education or anti-racism education or any of those fake educations, if they had had in the first place ‘an’ education Picture Quote #1

Clear language engenders clear thought, and clear thought is the most important benefit of education Picture Quote #1

Thought control, like birth control, is best undertaken as long as possible before the fact Picture Quote #1

Who speaks reason to his fellow man bestows it upon them Picture Quote #1

His jargon conceals, from him, but not from us, the deep, empty hole in his mind. He uses technological language as a substitute for technique Picture Quote #1

When we find ourselves wondering about the meaning of conditions and events, its always useful to ask, who profits? Picture Quote #1

You can shoot the tiger, or stay out of his way, but you cannot pronounce him a vegetarian Picture Quote #1

There is no other way to judge the work of a mind except through its words Picture Quote #1

A line runs from the meditations of the heart to the words of the mouth. The meditations are not clear to us until the mouth utters its words. If what the mouth utters is unclear or foolish or mendacious, it must be that the meditations are the same. But the line runs both ways. The words of the mouth will become the meditations of the heart, and the habit of loose talk loosens the fastenings of our understanding Picture Quote #1

People who cannot put strings of sentences together in good order cannot think. An educational system that does not teach the technology of writing is preventing thought Picture Quote #1

The feelings, sentiments, values and responses of our children, or of any citizen, are none of the government’s damned business. That we must support a government agency that gives itself to the emotional and ideological manipulation of citizens is infamous Picture Quote #1

If you cannot be the master of your language, you must be its slave. If you cannot examine your thoughts, you have no choice but to think them, however silly they may be Picture Quote #1

An education that does not teach clear, coherent writing cannot provide our world with thoughtful adults; it gives us instead, at the best, clever children of all ages Picture Quote #1

Here is a truth that most teachers will not tell you, even if they know it: Good training is a continual friend and a solace; it helps you now, and assures you of help in the future. Good education is a continual pain in the neck, and assures you always of more of the same Picture Quote #1

Some minds, at some point, discover that they can not make sense of their own predications without attention to grammar, although they do not ordinarily think of what they are doing as an exercise in grammar Picture Quote #1

Training is a good dog, a constant companion and an utterly loyal and devoted friend, and everyone should have one. Education is a nagging counselor. And, I am convinced, everyone does have one. It happens, however, that some nagging counselors have grown strong by a certain kind of nourishment. Others are weak and puny, even infantile, having never been nourished at all Picture Quote #1
