I hardly went to school.

Information is not knowledge.

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

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.

Cambridge is one of the best universities in the world, especially in my field.

I am no supporter of factory labor for children, but I have never joined with those who clamored against proper work of children on farms outside their school hours.

Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

I had a terrible education. I attended a school for emotionally disturbed teachers.

When I first stopped going to high school, I was about 15, 16. It had to be, like, 2000, 2001.

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 just want to be just as everyone else. I want to educate myself and be just like a normal teenager.

Educate the masses, elevate their standard of intelligence, and you will certainly have a successful nation.

Unfortunately, the highly curious student is a small percentage of the kids.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

Are we a nation that educates the world’s best and brightest in our universities, only to send them home to create businesses in countries that compete against us? Or are we a nation that encourages them to stay and create jobs, businesses, and industries right here in America?

We are more thoroughly an enlightened people, with respect to our political interests, than perhaps any other under heaven. Every man among us reads, and is so easy in his circumstances as to have leisure for conversations of improvement and for acquiring information.

There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools and she was bused to school every day. That little girl was me.

Every time I have to look up a word in the dictionary, I’m delighted.

My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.

Let’s teach kids, at the kindergarten level, what the contributions of people of color were to building the United States of America.

I went to a lovely school, and I got an incredible education. And I actually think that my education is what really sets me apart, ‚cause I’m very smart.

Education levels the playing field, allowing everyone to compete.

Soap and education are not as sudden as a massacre, but they are more deadly in the long run.

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.

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

My mother came from India to go to the University of California, Berkeley.

I think we’re doing a dreadful job of educating.

The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.

Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.

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

I’ve worked with children all my life.

I didn’t go to school for a full year until I was 12. In the summer I was a wild child in the woods, with no shoes, and in the fall it was back to the city, shoe shops and school.

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

NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It’s sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.

I need physics more than friends.

Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.

I’m always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it’s really nasty there but it’s not.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

See, that’s why Barack’s running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly – to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American – and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college.

The fact is, I was never too bright in school. I ain’t ashamed of it, though. I mean, how much do school principals make a month?

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

His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.

If you can’t read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!

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.

I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.

Against my will, in the course of my travels, the belief that everything worth knowing was known at Cambridge gradually wore off. In this respect my travels were very useful to me.

If you’re low-income in the United States, you have a higher chance of going to jail than you do of getting a four-year degree. And that doesn’t seem entirely fair.

There is a heavy emphasis in Mormonism on initiative, on responsibility, on a work ethic, and on education. If you take those elements together with a free-enterprise system, you’ve got the chemistry for a lot of industry.

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

Modern cynics and skeptics… see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.

Employers have decided that having the breadth of knowledge that’s associated with a four-year degree is often something they want to see in the people they give that job to.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

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

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

After two years at UCLA, I decided to leave. I was convinced that no amount of education would help a black man get a job.

Touch a scientist and you touch a child.

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you’re flying high at first, but it won’t take long before you feel the impact.

If you give a person a fish, they’ll fish for a day. But if you train a person to fish, they’ll fish for a lifetime.

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