Touch a scientist and you touch a child.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it’s just depressing to me. The poor little kids.

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.

I am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

I have a brother and sister; my mother does not care for thought, and father, too busy with his briefs to notice what we do. He buys me many books, but begs me not to read them, because he fears they joggle the mind.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

On the RFactor model that comes with the ‚Pro-Sim,‘ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

Let’s teach kids, at the kindergarten level, what the contributions of people of color were to building the United States of America.

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

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

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.

Historically, the family has played the primary role in educating children for life, with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.

Growing up in the place I did I never was aware of any other option but to question everything.

No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.

There is no sin except stupidity.

The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

Start a part-time business and make as many mistakes as you possibly can while you still have your daytime job.

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

The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

In the history of medicine, it is not always the great scientist or the learned doctor who goes forward to discover new fields, new avenues, new ideas.

The manual for WordStar, the most popular word-processing program, is 400 pages thick. To write a novel, you have to read a novel – one that reads like a mystery to most people. They’re not going to learn slash q-z any more than they’re going to learn Morse code. That is what Macintosh is all about.

Wisdom begins in wonder.

I don’t know that my schooling was conducive to wild ideas and creativity, but it gave me discipline, drive. They taught me how to think. I really know how to think.

The first duty of a state is to see that every child born therein shall be well housed, clothed, fed and educated till it attains years of discretion.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

I think I’ve got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn’t read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

An ignorant person is one who doesn’t know what you have just found out.

There happen to be a lot of people around who spent an hour on the Internet and think they know a lot of physics, but it doesn’t work like that… There’s a reason there are graduate schools in these departments.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

Yes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be.

If you’re teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.

Education is hanging around until you’ve caught on.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

I learned to walk as a baby, and I haven’t had a lesson since.

That’s another hallmark of truth, is that it snaps things together. People write to me all the time and say it’s as if things were coming together in my mind.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

Homework’s hard. Especially math. My kids joke with me. They tell me they have homework. I say, ‚Okay.‘ And then I sit down and they say, ‚It’s math.‘ ‚No! Not math! English, history, anything!‘

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They’re both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
