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

‚Tis education forms the common mind; just as the twig is bent the tree’s inclined.

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.

On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.

The child who desires education will be bettered by it; the child who dislikes it disgraced.

I long for the time when all human history is taught as one history, because it really is.

You cannot open a book without learning something.

I love great journalism. I appreciate it. I love a good, you know, I love good news stories. I love great books. I love great articles. I appreciate them so much, and they’ve been part of my education as a woman.

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

I hated school. Even to this day, when I see a school bus it’s just depressing to me. The poor little kids.

My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.

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

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

The book you don’t read won’t help.

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.

Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.

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.

Women 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.

No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner.

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.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.

I 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.

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

You teach your daughters the diameters of the planets and wonder when you are done that they do not delight in your company.

I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up, so I checked into college for a little bit. I took classes at a community college in West L.A. I took psychology, English, and philosophy.

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.

When you revolutionize education, you’re taking the very mechanism of how people be smarter and do new things, and you’re priming the pump for so many incredible things.

I was a class clown. At 12, I was definitely clowning. I was making all the jokes. But I was smart, so the teachers didn’t know what to do with me.

What’s amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It’s so far away in time that they can’t appreciate what it means for their whole life.

A BMW can’t take you as far as a diploma.

The true university of these days is a collection of books.

There is no education like adversity.

If children grew up according to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses.

In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people – and to hate those other people.

The wild Indian power of escaping observation, even where there is little or no cover to hide in, was probably slowly acquired in hard hunting and fighting lessons while trying to approach game, take enemies by surprise, or get safely away when compelled to retreat.

Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

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

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.

The highest result of education is tolerance.

You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that’s the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.

Politics are a very unsatisfactory game.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

I’m proud to be part of the Dr. Pepper Scholarship Giveaway. It’s a great program that gives me the chance to brighten the day for some lucky college students with free tuition.

In 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?

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

I know what it feels like to struggle to get the education that you need.

It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.

I didn’t go to university. Didn’t even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.

We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.

What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law.

For me, education has never been simply a policy issue – it’s personal. Neither of my parents and hardly anyone in the neighborhood where I grew up went to college. But thanks to a lot of hard work and plenty of financial aid, I had the opportunity to attend some of the finest universities in this country.

One of the very important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask questions.

You know, nothing is more important than education, because nowhere are our stakes higher; our future depends on the quality of education of our children today.

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.

I do not know how to teach philosophy without becoming a disturber of established religion.

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.
