Inspirational Quote about Education

What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. – Joseph Addison

As an ASVAB tutor with a master’s degree in Education, I place a strong emphasis on the value of education. Joseph Addison’s quote is a powerful quote that compares sculpture of a block of marble to the effect education has on the soul.  When you think about sculpting a piece, there is such potential.  The possible outcomes are endless.  As a sculpture progresses, the finished product finally comes into view.  Education is a similar process.  It is a fine tuning of our knowledge and skills in life.  The process and the end product is admirable.  I remind my students of the importance of education and knowledge and emphasize this in my ASVAB prep course.
