Crowded classrooms and half-day sessions are a tragic waste of our greatest national resource – the minds of our children.

You don’t go to Notre Dame to learn something; you go to Notre Dame to be somebody.

Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society.

What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support?

No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.

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

If I went to work in a factory the first thing I’d do is join a union.

Touch a scientist and you touch a child.

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.

Common Core is a big win for education.

There are more men ennobled by study than by nature.

Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.

Our schools and colleges are turning out people who cannot feel fulfilled unless they are telling other people what to do.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

America is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.

I like school and I like learning.

We are proud of the history of our country; we learned it in school and have grown up hearing of freedom, justice and human rights.

Fables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.

The real minimum wage is zero.

When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.

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

In all my days of schooling, from preschool all the way up to 12th grade, there was not one white person in my class. Literally zero.

Most Africans don’t get to see these wild animals at all. Once they see and learn about them, they are much more likely to become involved in protecting the environment.

This will never be a civilized country until we spend more money for books than we do for chewing gum.

Information is not knowledge.

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

Never have we stolen the intelligences of other peoples. On the contrary, in Cuba we have trained tens of thousands of doctors and other top-level professionals, for free, in order to send them back to their own countries.

First grade is very cheap. It’s the later grades where you have to spend a lot of money if you don’t do it right.

The object of teaching a child is to enable him to get along without his teacher.

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.

I’ve never professed to be anything but an average student.

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.

Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

Storytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage.

Everything I learned I learned from the movies.

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

Erudition – that is, reading, writing, and arithmetic – is taught in the schools; but where is the more important quality, character, taught? Nowhere in particular. There is no authorized training for children in character.

Untutored courage is useless in the face of educated bullets.

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.

We can’t afford not to educate girls and give women the power and the access that they need.

You don’t read in your own field. You read in that field when you’re young, so that you can learn.

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.

You’ve really got to start hitting the books because it’s no joke out here.

Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.

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.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.
