I didn’t get trained by the school system like other kids, and when I did concentrate on learning, my mind was cluttered and locked by the programming of the system.

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.

We have to abandon the idea that schooling is something restricted to youth. How can it be, in a world where half the things a man knows at 20 are no longer true at 40 – and half the things he knows at 40 hadn’t been discovered when he was 20?

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

Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

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.

I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.

I didn’t live at school, I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time. I don’t know anyone from school. I was just leading a different life. I was really interested in writing and other things.

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

In terms of my involvement in ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and marriage equality and anti-bullying and social emotional learning in schools – these are all things that arise out of my relationship with the world and with my fans.

The first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time it’s learned.

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

One of my mentors schooled me on branding before it was a cliche term in the game.

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.

I’ve worked with children all my life.

The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn’t go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he’s got.

A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.

But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.

Money is like an arm or leg – use it or lose it.

One pillar to wealth is having residual income.

I’m very sensitive. I remember, as a kid at school, if someone in the classroom was sad or angry, it could have a great impact on me.

The effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it’s a major problem, that’s just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.

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 method of instruction in Scouting is that of creating in the boy the desire to learn for himself.

Education is indoctrination if you’re white – subjugation if you’re black.

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it’s better than college. People should educate themselves – you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I’d written a thousand stories.

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

The idea of going to school and getting a job is the most destructive one in your brain.

I’ve been thinking of humorous things since I was… I can’t remember when. All the way through elementary school, all the way through junior high, all the way through high school, through college and after college, I was thinking of the same kinds of things that I say in front of an audience now.

Everybody that I was in school with had an uncle or father in the law, and I started to realize that I was going to end up writing briefs for about ten years for these fellows who I thought I was smarter than. And I was kind of losing my feeling for that.
