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

College isn’t in everyone’s hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn’t mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

Treachery has existed as long as there’s been warfare, and there’s always been a few people that you couldn’t trust.

The United States tyrannizes and pillages the globalized world with its political, economic, technological, and military might.

The former colonies, in Latin America in particular, have a better chance than ever before to overcome centuries of subjugation, violence and foreign intervention, which they have so far survived as dependencies with islands of luxury in a sea of misery.

I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.

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.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.

The making of an American begins at the point where he himself rejects all other ties, any other history, and himself adopts the vesture of his adopted land.

Up until the 1920s, everyone thought the universe was essentially static and unchanging in time.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

Dissident intellectuals aren’t all beautiful.

I grew up in the South under segregation. So, I know what terrorism feels like – when your father could be taken out in the middle of the night and lynched just because he didn’t look like he was in an obeying frame of mind when a white person said something he must do. I mean, that’s terrorism, too.

Society therefore is as ancient as the world.

All History is current; all injustice continues on some level, somewhere in the world.

Canada was built on dead beavers.

God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone’s sexual preferences are or if they’re black, brown or purple.

The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.

The world at large is less inequitable today than at any time in history. Number of people in abject poverty, as a percentage, is at all-time low.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned? Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.

I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool.

I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.

By 1960, the South Africans knew that they were becoming a pariah state.

The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.

Here’s the thing: every office I’ve run for I was the first to win. First person of color. First woman. First woman of color. Every time.

History should be written as philosophy.

Education is hanging around until you’ve caught on.

If anyone thinks they’d rather be in a different part of history, they’re probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You’d probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.

I can die a happy man never having been president of the United States of America. But it doesn’t mean I won’t run.

Education is the cheap defense of nations.

As much as I love the Western genre, I figured if I kept doing those, I’d eventually run out of steam on that, and that would’ve been the end of it.

For 500 years, since European explorers came, Latin American countries had been separated from one another. They had very limited relations. Integration is a prerequisite for independence.

If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and of Hiroshima.

The fifth freedom is freedom from ignorance.

You have your ideology and I have mine.

Whether you want to go into music, whether you want to be a lawyer, whether you want to be President of the United States, the bottom line for all of you is that you have got to get your education.

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

We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.

You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.

When I do a picture and it’s 90% black, like ‚Bird,‘ I use 90% black people.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

I was born on January 8, 1942, exactly three hundred years after the death of Galileo. I estimate, however, that about two hundred thousand other babies were also born that day. I don’t know whether any of them was later interested in astronomy.

World War II broke out in 1939, and many people credit that war with saving the economy.

Perhaps, after all, America never has been discovered. I myself would say that it had merely been detected.

The United States prefers that Iraq meet its obligations voluntarily, yet we are prepared for the alternative.

History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.

History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.

After my first year of college, each course I took in every field was so boring that I didn’t even go to the classes.

Upon books the collective education of the race depends; they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
