Few professors would dare to publish research or teach a course debunking the claims made in various ethnic, gender, or other ‚studies‘ courses.

It is hard to overstate how valuable it is to have all the incredible tools that are used for human disease to study plants.

My publication record puts me in the top 0.5 percent of psychologists.

I thought my life was mapped out. Research, living in the forest, teaching and writing. But in ’86 I went to a conference and realised the chimpanzees were disappearing. I had worldwide recognition and a gift of communication. I had to use them.

I feel exhausted if I teach too long.

Because I know about the Holy Land, I’ve taught lessons about the Holy Land all my life, and – but you can’t bring peace to Israel without giving the Palestinian also peace. And Lebanon and Jordan and Syria as well.

The highest grade I’ve taught is the 11th grade, and the youngest I’ve taught is the 4th grade.

I’m not a writer who teaches. I’m a teacher who writes.

I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.

It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.

It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.

The proper study of mankind is woman.

I came to America to teach my method – not to enter a research experiment.

As scientists, we step on the shoulders of science, building on the work that has come before us – aiming to inspire a new generation of young scientists to continue once we are gone.

I believe in this concept that you learn by teaching.

We must, I believe, start teaching our children the sanity of nonviolence much earlier.

His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even… knowledge, was foolproof.

Teach a parrot the terms ‚supply and demand‘ and you’ve got an economist.

There’s been some research in cognitive science, I’m told, that discloses that there have always been perhaps 10 to 15 percent of people who are, as Pascal puts it, so made that they cannot believe. To us, when people talk about faith, it’s white noise.

I didn’t want to become a professor or get tenure or teach or anything. All I wanted to do was get a degree because Louis Leakey said I needed one, which was right, and once I succeeded I could get back to the field.

Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.

The arrogance of age must submit to be taught by youth.

In my research, I’ve interviewed a lot of people who never fit in, who are what you might call ‚different‘: scientists, artists, thinkers. And if you drop down deep into their work and who they are, there is a tremendous amount of self-acceptance.

Research shows that there is only half as much variation in student achievement between schools as there is among classrooms in the same school. If you want your child to get the best education possible, it is actually more important to get him assigned to a great teacher than to a great school.

What nobler employment, or more valuable to the state, than that of the man who instructs the rising generation?

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

I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.

The truth is, I have absolutely no professional credentials – literally, which is why I’m teaching at MIT.

We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.

In the material sciences these are and have been, and are most surely likely to continue to be heroic days.

When I was young, an eccentric uncle decided to teach me how to lie. Not, he explained, because he wanted me to lie, but because he thought I should know how it’s done so I would recognise when I was being lied to.

In the academic world, most of the work that is done is clerical. A lot of the work done by professors is routine.

No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

I am a writer of books in retrospect. I talk in order to understand; I teach in order to learn.

I would have a workshop attached to every school, and one hour a day given up to the teaching of simple decorative arts. It would be a golden hour to the children.

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

Even with cameras being very cheap, one thing that researchers noticed was that you look really bad in a videoconference image because the lighting is bad and you get shadows and things.

I know that I came into the world with what I call ‚big dharma‘ – with a blueprint to teach self-reliance and a positive loving approach to large numbers of people all over the globe. I am ever so grateful for the circumstances of my life that allowed me to be pretty much left alone and to develop as I was so intended in this incarnation.

Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

When you walk into my classroom, I’m going to give it to you straight, just like in the real world, because that’s the only way to prepare you for the real world.

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?

Those who educate children well are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well.

A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

I don’t believe in signing anything and everything that comes my way. I leave it to my agency to help narrow them down for me, but I do research it myself before signing. The image of the brand and its ambassadors go hand in hand.

The generous Critic fann’d the Poet’s fire, And taught the world with reason to admire.

We have to build the capacity of our institutions, employees and workers. Our regulatory environment has not been encouraging to research, innovation and enterprise.

The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.

Teaching’s hard! You need different skills: positive reinforcement, keeping students from getting bored, commanding their attention in a certain way.

Research is creating new knowledge.

In almost every area of human endeavor, the practice improves over time. That hasn’t been the case for teaching.

Religion and ritual can be vehicles for entering stillness. It says in Psalm 46:10, ‚Be still, and know that I am God.‘ But they are still just vehicles. The Buddha called his teaching a raft: You don’t need to carry it around with you after you’ve crossed the river.

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

I can take a beginner kid that has never danced in their lives, and I can teach them something, or I can take a really advanced dancer, and I can make them into a professional.

Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists.

If you look at the history of our country over the last 100 years, there have been periods where science and research have been celebrated. They were really kind of held up as heroes in society, which encouraged a generation of people to go into these fields.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

I’ve worked with children all my life.
