When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.

Being young is a great advantage, since we see the world from a new perspective and we are not afraid to make radical changes.

The key is not to prioritize what’s on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

To be renewed is everything. What more could one ask for than to have one’s youth back again?

The good part about youngsters is that they are so fearless. You want to be like them.

I think money is a wonderful thing because it enables you to do things. It enables you to invest in ideas that don’t have a short-term payback.

You learn a lot in life but there are a lot of tools and resources in school that help you grow professionally and personally for whatever goal you may want to achieve.

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught.

Measure your wealth by what you’d have left if you lost all your money.

The life which men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

Independence is a heady draught, and if you drink it in your youth, it can have the same effect on the brain as young wine does. It does not matter that its taste is not always appealing. It is addictive and with each drink you want more.

I don’t believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

Creative people don’t behave very well generally. If you’re looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you’re gonna be depressed real fast. I don’t have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She’s my first priority.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.

When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It’s like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.

Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.

Natural ability without education has more often raised a man to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

A BMW can’t take you as far as a diploma.

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.

You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn’t mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.

I had given up some youth for knowledge, but my gain was more valuable than the loss.

Education is important because it prepares you for life.

I don’t mind saying, you know, that I don’t take a salary from the church, and God has blessed me with more money than I could imagine from my books. It’s been printed all over, so I don’t feel like I am hiding anything.

Too many people treat parenting like it’s the 20th item on their to-do list.

I’m all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down.

I have been a youngster and I know speeches are boring.

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

College isn’t the place to go for ideas.

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so.

Women tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.

It took me 40 years to write my first book. When I was a child, I was encouraged to go to school. I was not encouraged to follow the career of a writer because my parents thought that I was going to starve to death.

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.

One day a guy tried to rob me on the street, and I had no money. So I charged him.

Some old men, continually praise the time of their youth. In fact, you would almost think that there were no fools in their days, but unluckily they themselves are left as an example.
