I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.

To use the same words is not a sufficient guarantee of understanding; one must use the same words for the same genus of inward experience; ultimately one must have one’s experiences in common.

I went to a public school through sixth grade, and being good at tests wasn’t cool.

There is no education like adversity.

If you believe in science, like I do, you believe that there are certain laws that are always obeyed.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

It is not until you become a mother that your judgment slowly turns to compassion and understanding.

The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.

It’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.

What we become depends on what we read after all of the professors have finished with us. The greatest university of all is a collection of books.

It is very nearly impossible… to become an educated person in a country so distrustful of the independent mind.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

Religion is the impotence of the human mind to deal with occurrences it cannot understand.

No man ever prayed heartily without learning something.

The instrument that I never learned how to play was my fans. You know, they are the part of the story that nobody teaches you. I just want to do the right thing; I want to be a voice with them, among them.

A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom.

One might be led to suspect that there were all sorts of things going on in the universe which he or she did not thoroughly understand.

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

Working with a guy like Ice Cube on ‚Ride Along,‘ you learn so much. He’s a guy who produces, writes, and directs, so you watch and learn and ask questions. As you go, you learn and figure out what you should and shouldn’t do. I do nothing but soak up information.

The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.

You may be able to read Bernard Shaw’s plays, you may be able to quote Shakespeare or Voltaire or some new philosopher; but if you in yourself are not intelligent, if you are not creative, what is the point of this education?

I think a number of the leaders are, whether you like it or not, in the hip-hop generation. And when they understand enough, they’ll do wonders. I count on them.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.

He who knows best knows how little he knows.

Find what’s hot, find what’s just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

I didn’t go to school for a full year until I was 12. In the summer I was a wild child in the woods, with no shoes, and in the fall it was back to the city, shoe shops and school.

It is a miracle that curiosity survives formal education.

Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts.

I didn’t fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise… Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

You hear about actors being late and all that sort of stuff, but you never find that with an actor who’s directed, because an actor who’s directed understands all the problems your production is going through.

You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.

A boy carries out suggestions more wholeheartedly when he understands their aim.

Perplexity is the beginning of knowledge.

Saying nothing… sometimes says the most.

It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience.

Knowledge is a polite word for dead but not buried imagination.

My mother came from India to go to the University of California, Berkeley.

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.
