BonoPeople are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.

Stephen CoveyFor me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.
Stephen CurryJapan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor.
Steve JobsThe foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
DiogenesSome people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.
Winston ChurchillWhat we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.
George Bernard ShawMy mother never gave up one me. I messed up in school so much they were sending me home, but my mother sent me right back.
Denzel WashingtonNatural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.
Marcus Tullius CiceroUntil justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThe moral disapprobation of society has an impact on behavior in societies.
Joe BidenWhy should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?
Greta ThunbergThe purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise… Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamWhat charitable 1 percenters can’t do is assume responsibility – America’s national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts.
Stephen KingA well-instructed people alone can be permanently a free people.
James MadisonI was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up, so I checked into college for a little bit. I took classes at a community college in West L.A. I took psychology, English, and philosophy.
Nipsey HussleWhether you want to go into music, whether you want to be a lawyer, whether you want to be President of the United States, the bottom line for all of you is that you have got to get your education.
Michelle ObamaWe, we – as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.
Richard BransonMoney has always been in politics. And I’m not sure you’d want money to be completely out of politics.
Bill GatesWicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.
Arthur SchopenhauerCreating whole departments of ethnic, gender, and other ‚studies‘ was part of the price of academic peace. All too often, these ‚studies‘ are about propaganda rather than serious education.
Thomas SowellWith Virgin, I’ve just loved creating things. And as a private company, I can get away with moving Virgin from records to airlines to train companies to space companies to whatever, without ever having to worry about analysts knocking the value of my stock.
Richard BransonUntutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.
George S. PattonI was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.
Richard P. FeynmanThe problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
Elon MuskI think television has had a vast, unbelievable impact on us.
Billy GrahamThe idea that you encourage companies to take their innovative thinkers and think about the most needy – even beyond the market opportunities – that’s something that appropriately ought to be done.
Bill GatesWhen you look at how much we spend on social programs in our country, it separates us from a lot of countries. In our country, if you’re hungry, we’ll feed you. If you’re homeless, we’ll house you. If you’re too poor to be sick, we’ll pay for your doctor. But all of that comes at a cost.
John KennedyIf you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions – for the fun of it – then one day you’ll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!
Richard P. FeynmanI would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.
Walt DisneyCapitalism has worked very well. Anyone who wants to move to North Korea is welcome.
Bill GatesNature has always had more force than education.
VoltaireI have a theory about the human mind. A brain is a lot like a computer. It will only take so many facts, and then it will go on overload and blow up.
Erma BombeckAfter launching the first version of Facebook for a few thousand users, we would discuss how this should be built for the world. It wasn’t even a thought that maybe it could be us. We always thought it would be someone else doing it.
Mark ZuckerbergNo man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.
J. Robert Oppenheimer‚Mean‘ is a song I wrote about somebody who wrote things that were so mean so many times that it would ruin my day. Then it would ruin the next day. And it would level me so many times, I just felt like I was being hit in the face every time this person would take to their computer.
Taylor SwiftMicrosoft is not about greed. It’s about innovation and fairness.
Bill GatesI’m proud to be part of the Dr. Pepper Scholarship Giveaway. It’s a great program that gives me the chance to brighten the day for some lucky college students with free tuition.
Lou HoltzThe Vietnam War was a great tragedy for our country. And it is now far enough away so that one can study without using the slogans to see what’s really happened.
Henry KissingerI would fain grow old learning many things.
PlatoEverybody thinks that when new technologies come along that they’re transparent and you can just do your job well on it. But technologies always import a whole new set of values with them.

Hunter S. ThompsonIt’s not going to do any good to land on Mars if we’re stupid.
Ray BradburyYes, 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. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.
Joel OsteenInstead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don’t they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
Will RogersI will cut taxes – cut taxes – for 95 percent of all working families, because, in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle class.
Barack ObamaWe are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man’s estate, is the gift of education.
Jean-Jacques RousseauThe Gates Foundation has learned that two questions can predict how much kids learn: ‚Does your teacher use class time well?‘ and, ‚When you’re confused, does your teacher help you get straightened out?‘
Bill GatesFor good nurture and education implant good constitutions.
PlatoI’m responsible for starting a whole new school of pretension.
David BowieNecessity… the mother of invention.
PlatoMy background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment – my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me.
Elon MuskMusic is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
PlatoYou need to think outside the box. You need to think differently if you want to sustain what, for me, is my peak performance: the very best that I can achieve as an athlete every day.
Tom BradyNo group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.
Franklin D. RooseveltIndia’s trade deficit is because of excess of import over exports.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI feel that the best companies are started not because the founder wanted a company but because the founder wanted to change the world… If you decide you want to found a company, you maybe start to develop your first idea. And hire lots of workers.
Mark Zuckerberg
