Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological indoctrination.

We as women, we have to understand that we know more, just even instinctively, than we think we do.

Many receive advice, only the wise profit from it.

We are wiser than we know.

The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one.

The unsuccessful person is burdened by learning, and prefers to walk down familiar paths. Their distaste for learning stunts their growth and limits their influence.

Why not whip the teacher when the pupil misbehaves?

There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them.

Back when I was in school, few people understood dyslexia and what to do for it. My teachers thought I was lazy and not very clever, and I got bored easily… thinking of all the things I could do once I left school. I couldn’t always follow what was going on.

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

We all know that there are these exemplars who can take the toughest students, and they’ll teach them two-and-a-half years of math in a single year.

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.

Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?

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.

I 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.

We’ve got to dumb America up again.

For me, education has never been simply a policy issue – it’s personal. Neither of my parents and hardly anyone in the neighborhood where I grew up went to college. But thanks to a lot of hard work and plenty of financial aid, I had the opportunity to attend some of the finest universities in this country.

You stay teachable most by reading books. By reading what other people went through.

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.

Everybody who is incapable of learning has taken to teaching.

The modern mind is in complete disarray. Knowledge has stretched itself to the point where neither the world nor our intelligence can find any foot-hold. It is a fact that we are suffering from nihilism.

Some people, they take their form of working out as a religion that they think is better than everyone else’s. I’m not like that. If you have a better way to work out, and you can teach it to me, and I find it to be useful and gets me in better shape, I’m all about.

The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.

It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations.

People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make.

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.

Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in.

I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.

Scientists have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest for knowledge.

So we know that it’s not enough for us to simply encourage more people to study abroad. We also need to make sure that they can actually afford it.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn’t need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around.

The next time someone tells you we can trim the budget by cutting aid, I hope you will ask whether it will come at the cost of more people dying.

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

It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.

The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.

In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.

Many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.

Marriage is a school itself. Also, having children. Becoming a father changed my whole life. It taught me as if by revelation.

My mother knew how to read music and everything. But I just kinda learned off of records. And so, I was listening to records and I’d play ‚em over and over.

I was a disadvantaged child from a non-educated family, yet I had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers.

If you judge, investigate.

And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.

Between falsehood and useless truth there is little difference. As gold which he cannot spend will make no man rich, so knowledge which cannot apply will make no man wise.

Our teachers deserve better feedback.

The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

Where there is shouting, there is no true knowledge.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.

I think who you are in school really sticks with you.

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

Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

Temptation is just the feeling that you’re the most independent person on planet Earth. That you know everything. That’s something that we all go through as a kid. Now, this lifestyle that I’m in, the same thing exists! But it’s 10 times worse, because everything is at my disposal. When you’re in the limelight, you can get anything you want.

Live to learn, and you will really learn to live.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and wellbeing – that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and equality for all inhabitants of our world – is what I wish for all.

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

Thoughts without content are empty, intuitions without concepts are blind.

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.

It’s hard to improve public education – that’s clear.
