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.

Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.

I truly believe the things Notre Dame stands for.

Rockets are cool. There’s no getting around that.

You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.

I read the ‚Old Testament‘ all the way through when I was about 13 and was horrified. A few months afterwards I read ‚The Origin Of Species‘, hallucinating very mildly because I was in bed with flu at the time. Despite that, or because of that, it all made perfect sense.

There are thousands of boys being wasted daily to our country through being left to become characterless, and, therefore, useless wasters, a misery to themselves and an eyesore and a danger to the nation. They could be saved if only the right surroundings or environment were given to them at the receptive time of their lives.

If you are giving a graduate course you don’t try to impress the students with oratory, you try to challenge them, get them to question you.

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics.

There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. That little girl was me.

A women who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.

I never cut class. I loved getting A’s, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

In order that all men may be taught to speak the truth, it is necessary that all likewise should learn to hear it.

The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.

They know enough who know how to learn.

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

At its heart, engineering is about using science to find creative, practical solutions. It is a noble profession.

Naturally, my stories are about women – I’m a woman. I don’t know what the term is for men who write mostly about men. I’m not always sure what is meant by ‚feminist.‘ In the beginning, I used to say, ‚Well, of course I’m a feminist.‘ But if it means that I follow a kind of feminist theory, or know anything about it, then I’m not.

Men and women may form associations for and among themselves and be governed by stipulations that are mutually acceptable.

My folks ain’t graduated from high school or nothing like that, so we always had to struggle in the family – and I come from a big family.

We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

A fool’s brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

Electricity is really just organized lightning.

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn’t educate America if they started at 6:30.

I love women with attitude.

Wisdom oft times consists of knowing what to do next.

I think I’m pretty smart. I think I’m pretty clever. But there’s a lot that you hone in on when you finish your education.

Kathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that’s being pushed in a manner in schools that’s completely reprehensible. It’s not education, in my estimation. It’s a form of indoctrination.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

For NASA, space is still a high priority.

If you can’t read, it’s going to be hard to realize dreams.

Just as food eaten without appetite is a tedious nourishment, so does study without zeal damage the memory by not assimilating what it absorbs.

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks, shall win my love.

Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.

Nevertheless, it is even harder for the average ape to believe that he has descended from man.

I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes.

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

I think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have. And sometimes, I don’t know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with.

The old adage about giving a man a fish versus teaching him how to fish has been updated by a reader: Give a man a fish and he will ask for tartar sauce and French fries! Moreover, some politician who wants his vote will declare all these things to be among his ‚basic rights.‘

Lectures should go from being like the family singing around the piano to high-quality concerts.

A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching.

Train up a child in the way that he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.

To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.

The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature.

The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn’t going to help you unless you have something to say.

Education is what you learn after you leave school.

No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.

To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child.

I’m a good teacher and am great at observation and picking out what’s wrong and fixing it.

The highest result of education is tolerance.

Unemployment rates among Americans who never went to college are about double that of those who have a postsecondary education.

Evolution was far more thrilling to me than the biblical account. Who would not rather be a rising ape than a falling angel? To my juvenile eyes, Darwin was proved true every day. It doesn’t take much to make us flip back into monkeys again.

Women have no sympathy and my experience of women is almost as large as Europe.

The march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.

Back in my days as a chemistry student, I used to be quite a technocrat. I was firmly convinced that scientists would have cornered God and photographed Him in color by 1951.

Shun no toil to make yourself remarkable by some talent or other; yet do not devote yourself to one branch exclusively. Strive to get clear notions about all. Give up no science entirely; for science is but one.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
