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

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

It is hardly an exaggeration to say that oral teachers and sign teachers found it difficult to sit down in the same room without quarreling, and there was intolerance upon both sides. To say ‚oral method‘ to a sign teacher was like waving a red flag in the face of a bull, and to say ‚sign language‘ to an oralist aroused the deepest resentment.

Yes, 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.

Through my education, I didn’t just develop skills, I didn’t just develop the ability to learn, but I developed confidence.

You can’t learn to write in college. It’s a very bad place for writers because the teachers always think they know more than you do – and they don’t. They have prejudices. They may like Henry James, but what if you don’t want to write like Henry James? They may like John Irving, for instance, who’s the bore of all time.

I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.

The giving of love is an education in itself.

Kathleen 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.

The schools ain’t what they used to be and never was.

The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their commonsense.

Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don’t speak the language and haven’t been before – that’s really satisfying to me. I like that.

I know from having had a child, and from having been a child myself, that children will copy you.

I’ve never professed to be anything but an average student.

Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

The school is the last expenditure upon which America should be willing to economize.

Solutions are not the answer.

It’s all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you’re properly trained.

I’ve learned not to look at reviews. Early on, I did. I was always curious.

In so many ways, segregation shaped me, and education liberated me.

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.

How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?

A little learning is a dangerous thing, but we must take that risk because a little is as much as our biggest heads can hold.

All knowledge which ends in words will die as quickly as it came to life, with the exception of the written word: which is its mechanical part.

If you don’t feel safe as a child, you can’t learn.

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.

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.

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

Children are remarkable for their intelligence and ardor, for their curiosity, their intolerance of shams, the clarity and ruthlessness of their vision.

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way – by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!

My mother is not educated but keeps in touch with world events through news on TV.

I was always very curious as a young man about why older writers who I met seemed so indifferent to what was going on, whereas I, in my 20s, was reading everything. Everything seemed important.

When you have a conflict, that means that there are truths that have to be addressed on each side of the conflict. And when you have a conflict, then it’s an educational process to try to resolve the conflict. And to resolve that, you have to get people on both sides of the conflict involved so that they can dialogue.

Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I’m liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what’s insane about it.
