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.
Bill GatesLearning never exhausts the mind.
Leonardo da VinciThe paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.
James BaldwinThe best teacher is very interactive.
Bill GatesThe true university of these days is a collection of books.
Thomas CarlyleYou learn a lot in life but there are a lot of tools and resources in school that help you grow professionally and personally for whatever goal you may want to achieve.
Bad BunnyI like school and I like learning.
Greta ThunbergEducation is the best provision for old age.
AristotleIf you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don’t know how to read, you don’t know how to decide. That’s the great thing about our country – we’re a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray BradburyI’ve always been surrounded by many great people and professors, but my family, especially my mom who was a teacher, was the person who encouraged me to study and pushed me to continue. When we’re young, we don’t understand why our parents bug us so much with school and doing homework, but it’s a blessing to have that support at home.
Bad BunnyKathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality. And I think that that’s being pushed in a manner in schools that’s completely reprehensible. It’s not education, in my estimation. It’s a form of indoctrination.
Jordan PetersonIn 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.
Stephen HawkingExperience is the teacher of all things.
Julius CaesarI go to school the youth to learn the future.
Robert FrostIn so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.
Maya AngelouNo trace of slavery ought to mix with the studies of the freeborn man. No study, pursued under compulsion, remains rooted in the memory.
PlatoI’d go to, like, six different schools in one year. We were on welfare, and my mom never ever worked.
EminemCooking today is a young man’s game, I don’t give a bollocks what anyone says.
Gordon RamsayToo much of what is called ‚education‘ is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
Thomas SowellIf you’re teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.
Noam ChomskyThe highest grade I’ve taught is the 11th grade, and the youngest I’ve taught is the 4th grade.
John KennedyWe can’t afford not to educate girls and give women the power and the access that they need.
Michelle ObamaA 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.
Theodore RooseveltAmerica is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.
Barack ObamaTo me, we’re marketing hope.
Joel OsteenMy 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.
Dalai LamaI didn’t go to university. Didn’t even finish A-levels. But I have sympathy for those who did.
Terry PratchettI would fain grow old learning many things.
PlatoThe 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 GibranI’d like to think I’m a great teacher.
Gordon RamsayCreating whole departments of ethnic, gender, and other ‚studies‘ was part of the price of academic peace. All too often, these ‚studies‘ are about propaganda rather than serious education.
Thomas SowellWe are proud of the history of our country; we learned it in school and have grown up hearing of freedom, justice and human rights.
Fidel CastroThe trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.
Bill ShanklyUntil 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.
Lyndon B. JohnsonNo one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
PlatoI was a disadvantaged child from a non-educated family, yet I had the advantage of being in the company of great teachers.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamMen have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.
Henry David ThoreauI mean, I went to a Catholic boys‘ school for a year, but that was to play hockey. Religion class was quite contentious for me.
Keanu ReevesI was a smart kid, but I hated school.
EminemA child miseducated is a child lost.
John F. KennedyHad I pursued my education long enough to learn all the conventional dos and don’ts of starting a business, I often wonder how different my life and career might have been.
Richard BransonOn 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.
Nelson MandelaI 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.
Angelina JolieEach new generation born is in effect an invasion of civilization by little barbarians, who must be civilized before it is too late.
Thomas SowellEvery artist wants something different out the game.
Nipsey HussleWe are often raised as dependents then given over to teachers. It’s experience and exploration that can transform us and lead to mastery.
Robert GreeneMen must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot.
Alexander PopeNo man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.
J. Robert OppenheimerThere are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
Robert FrostThe proper study of mankind is books.
Aldous HuxleyTo accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.
EpictetusYes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.
Joel OsteenThe truth is, I have absolutely no professional credentials – literally, which is why I’m teaching at MIT.
Noam ChomskyA brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.
Jeff BezosThere are more men ennobled by study than by nature.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI was terrible in English. I couldn’t stand the subject. It seemed to me ridiculous to worry about whether you spelled something wrong or not, because English spelling is just a human convention – it has nothing to do with anything real, anything from nature.
Richard P. FeynmanI 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.
Lady GagaModern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.
John RuskinThe most important part of education is proper training in the nursery.
PlatoI 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.
Oscar Wilde
