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

Read about history, and you become aware that nothing starts with us.

All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.

Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.

History isn’t just the story of bad people doing bad things. It’s quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.

The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say ‚oral method‘ to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say ‚sign language‘ to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.

In general, pride is at the bottom of all great mistakes.

It’s what counts, isn’t it, on the Sunday, rather than pre-season testing. If you lock up, you do a little mistake, it’s nothing, but if you do it on Sunday, you lose a place or you have to box for a flat spot or something like that. It’s a much bigger problem.

Creationists make it sound as though a ‚theory‘ is something you dreamt up after being drunk all night.

It is a no-fail, incontrovertible reality: If you get, give. If you learn, teach. You can’t do anything with that except do it.

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.

A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one.

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

Study hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature.

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Me not finishing school – in my head, I still have this insecurity when I’m talking to someone educated.

In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

Do I dare set forth here the most important, the most useful rule of all education? It is not to save time, but to squander it.

I learned to fly a few years ago in England. It’s the only place I’m completely alone – up in the air, detached from everything.

I’m sure a lot of people out there make mistakes.

Great teachers emanate out of knowledge, passion and compassion.

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

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

If your mom cries a lot, you probably cry a lot. It’s what you learn.

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

Start a part-time business and make as many mistakes as you possibly can while you still have your daytime job.

Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

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

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.

I was never really good at anything except for the ability to learn.

In K-12, almost everybody goes to local schools. Universities are a bit different because kids actually do pick the university. The bizarre thing, though, is that the merit of university is actually how good the students going in are: the SAT scores of the kids going in.

Study the past, if you would divine the future.

You live and learn. At any rate, you live.

We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.

Those that know, do. Those that understand, teach.

Our generation in the west was lucky: we had readymade gateways. We had books, paper, teachers, schools and libraries. But many in the world lack these luxuries. How do you practice without such tryout venues?

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.

Information, education, skills, healthcare, livelihood, financial inclusion, small and village enterprises, opportunities for women, conservation of natural resources, distributed clean energy – entirely new possibilities have emerged to change the development model.

We’re all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.

I would fain grow old learning many things.

I need physics more than friends.

History will point out some of the things I did wrong and some of the things I did right.

For my part, I desire to see the time when education – and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry – shall become much more general than at present, and should be gratified to have it in my power to contribute something to the advancement of any measure which might have a tendency to accelerate the happy period.

Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.

Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there.

Won’t it be wonderful when black history and native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.

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.

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.

I wrote my first song at 12 and remember someone asking, ‚What were you going through at 12 that you could write about?‘ I get what you’re saying, but 11, 12, 13 were the hardest years of my life. You learn everything. You learn how horrible things feel.

If God treats you well by teaching you a disastrous lesson, you never forget it.

I am a good listener. I think that came from my schooling.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

When one has finished building one’s house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way – before one began.

Education is hanging around until you’ve caught on.
