I don’t race cars.
Dwayne JohnsonWomen tend to be more intuitive, or to admit to being intuitive, and maybe the hard science approach isn’t so attractive. The way that science is taught is very cold. I would never have become a scientist if I had been taught like that.
Jane GoodallFables 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.
HypatiaIf I’d had good discipline, I might have gone into music.
Clint EastwoodTouch a scientist and you touch a child.
Ray BradburyYou throw batting practice, you warm up pitchers, you sit and cheer. You do whatever you have to do to stay on the team.
Bob UeckerIt is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible.
Desmond TutuWhenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.
James MadisonStorytelling is a very old human skill that gives us an evolutionary advantage. If you can tell young people how you kill an emu, acted out in song or dance, or that Uncle George was eaten by a croc over there, don’t go there to swim, then those young people don’t have to find out by trial and error.
Margaret AtwoodMen have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.
Henry David ThoreauThe teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
Khalil Gibran‚Via Dolorosa‘ is the only thing I have ever acted in my life, professionally, and I’ll never act again.
David HareI believe that of all the things I have done, exciting though many of them have been, there’s no doubt in my mind that the most worthwhile have been the establishing of schools and hospitals, and the rebuilding of monasteries in the mountains.
Edmund HillaryStudy hard so that you can master technology, which allows us to master nature.
Che GuevaraI just don’t believe in the basic concept that someone should make their whole career in public service.
Dan QuayleIf you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.
Oscar WildeF2 cars have downforce; they’re quick. But it’s difficult for your brain and eyes to keep up with everything that’s going on once you’re in an F1 car. You get used to it and you learn to stay calm, because if you react too quickly the opposite will happen. Being more relaxed is when it becomes more natural and controlled.
Lando NorrisI was a sociology major. And it had nothing to do necessarily with law, which is ultimately – I went to law school. But what I tried to do was choose something that I was passionate about or something that I cared about.
Michelle ObamaIf you want someone to say, ‚She’s so sweet, and she’s so cute, and, honey, point your foot,‘ that’s not my school. You can go to the YMCA and have a nobody teach your kid if that’s what you want to hear.
Abby Lee MillerAs long as I’m learning something, I figure I’m OK – it’s a decent day.
Hunter S. ThompsonI will never retire from politics, the revolution, or the ideas I have.
Fidel CastroThe proper study of mankind is books.
Aldous HuxleyI think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down – we’re not going to be the number one group in the world forever – so you have to have something else to fall back on.
Beyonce KnowlesWe 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?
Arthur C. ClarkeThere is no such thing as a lovers‘ oath.
PlatoI was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I – if I’m not interested in something, I don’t grasp it.
Richard BransonEducationists should build the capacities of the spirit of inquiry, creativity, entrepreneurial and moral leadership among students and become their role model.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI never thought a career as a musician was possible.
Billie EilishTo penetrate and dissipate these clouds of darkness, the general mind must be strengthened by education.
Thomas JeffersonEvery citizen has the real right to receive general education and professional training at no cost, something that the United States has not been able to ensure for all its inhabitants.
Fidel CastroHave you ever asked yourselves what you are going to do when you grow up? In all likelihood you will get married, and before you know where you are, you will be mothers and fathers; and you will then be tied to a job, or to the kitchen, in which you will gradually wither away. Is that all that your life is going to be?
Jiddu KrishnamurtiI was 18 years old, and it was a dream come true for me to work out and eat great food for free. What else do you want in life? People think that is what it is like to be in a SEAL team, but it is less than a fraction of your career as a real SEAL.
Jocko WillinkI no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.
Bob MarleyEven before Snapchat, you go back into my career from Day One or interview people that knew me for 25 years, they’re going to tell you I’ve been DJ Khaled my whole life.
DJ KhaledDemocracy is our commitment. It is our great legacy, a legacy we simply cannot compromise. Democracy is in our DNA.
Narendra ModiAt the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence.
Booker T. WashingtonThe secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film – whether it’s history, psychology, economics, or architecture – so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn’t going to help you unless you have something to say.
George LucasI am pro-education. I’m just anti the system.
Robert KiyosakiThe best augury of a man’s success in his profession is that he thinks it the finest in the world.
George EliotMy mother is not educated but keeps in touch with world events through news on TV.
Narendra ModiA University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
Benjamin DisraeliI hope that people around the world will be as inspired as I am to step up and to speak out on behalf of girls around the world who struggle to go to school.
Michelle ObamaWe do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection.
PlatoI’m a workin‘ girl.
Dolly PartonI’m committed to the fight game.
Conor McGregorI do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.
Baruch SpinozaMarriage is scary to me, man.
The WeekndThe truth is, I have absolutely no professional credentials – literally, which is why I’m teaching at MIT.
Noam ChomskyHis lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.
Woody AllenConsider the fellow. He never spends his time telling you about his previous night’s date. You get the idea he has eyes only for you and wouldn’t think of looking at another woman.
Marilyn MonroeIn poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?
Bill GatesI’m a working-class person, working with class.
Karl LagerfeldWhen you’re around me and really see that all I do is live and breathe for my work, it’s not strange, it’s just Gaga.
Lady GagaThe most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.
Aldous HuxleyI’ve played with IVs before, during and after games. I’ve played with a broken hand, a sprained ankle, a torn shoulder, a fractured tooth, a severed lip, and a knee the size of a softball. I don’t miss 15 games because of a toe injury that everybody knows wasn’t that serious in the first place.
Kobe BryantI booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.
Frank OceanI’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.
Barack ObamaI’m not really book-smart.
EminemDemocracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
Franklin D. RooseveltI was never a boy magnet at school. There was always the girl all the guys liked and wanted to date, but it was never me.
Taylor Swift
