When I was young I didn’t care about education, just money and box office.

You’re never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick up a book and read to a child.

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There’s a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

Youth is the period in which a man can be hopeless. The end of every episode is the end of the world. But the power of hoping through everything, the knowledge that the soul survives its adventures, that great inspiration comes to the middle-aged.

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

Right now it’s only a notion, but I think I can get the money to make it into a concept, and later turn it into an idea.

I just want to make sure when I have kids, I can spend time with them. That’s the whole point.

Money does not change people, people change.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.

Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.

I’m always happy to blow up any misconceptions that people have about stage school cos everyone thinks it’s really nasty there but it’s not.

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

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.

When I was about thirteen, the library was going to get ‚Calculus for the Practical Man.‘ By this time I knew, from reading the encyclopedia, that calculus was an important and interesting subject, and I ought to learn it.

Time is the least thing we have of.

I need physics more than friends.

The highest result of education is tolerance.

I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.

What destroys more self-confidence than any other educational thing in America is being assigned to some remedial math when you get into some college, and then it’s not taught very well and you end up with this sense of, ‚Hey, I can’t really figure those things out.‘

My husband and I had to raise five of my younger brothers and sisters. They lived with us. We sent them to school.

I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king’s business.

I notice that young men go to the universities in order to become doctors or philosophers or anything, so long as it is a title, and that many go in for those professions who are utterly unfit for them, while others who would be very competent are prevented by business or their daily cares, which keep them away from letters.

I live in that solitude which is painful in youth, but delicious in the years of maturity.

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

I wrote my first song at 12 and remember someone asking, ‚What were you going through at 12 that you could write about?‘ I get what you’re saying, but 11, 12, 13 were the hardest years of my life. You learn everything. You learn how horrible things feel.

I have no degree in biochemistry, neither do I have one in mechanical engineering, as the Army saw fit to terminate both courses before they were finished.

My mother came from India to go to the University of California, Berkeley.

I have enjoyed great satisfaction from my climb of Everest and my trips to the poles. But there’s no doubt that my most worthwhile things have been the building of schools and medical clinics.

Modern cynics and skeptics… see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.

As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

I’m just a kid – I’ve got a lot of stuff to do yet.

Historically, the family has played the primary role in educating children for life, with the school providing supplemental scaffolding to the family.

Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.

My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the ’40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.

The use of money is all the advantage there is in having it.

The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.

America 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.

Because of our sacred regard for each human intellect, we consider the obtaining of an education to be a religious responsibility.

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.

Teaching is a very noble profession that shapes the character, caliber, and future of an individual. If the people remember me as a good teacher, that will be the biggest honour for me.

We should all start to live before we get too old.

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.

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.

All the learnin‘ my father paid for was a bit o‘ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.

My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

I had to make a choice at one point in my life, of missing films or missing my children. It was a very easy decision to make because I missed my children so very much.

It was the money from ‚Star Wars‘ and ‚Jaws‘ that allowed the theaters to build their multiplexes, which allowed an opening up of screens.

Teachers can change lives with just the right mix of chalk and challenges.

No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.

It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.

Between the ages of fifteen and twenty-four, I must have read a whole library.

I wanted to race cars. I didn’t like school, and all I wanted to do was work on cars. But right before I graduated, I got into a really bad car accident, and I spent that summer in the hospital thinking about where I was heading. I decided to take education more seriously and go to a community college.

The Sisters of Notre Dame at St. Aloysius Grade School influenced my life tremendously. This was due to the fact that they encouraged you always to make sure that God is the focus of your life, and they didn’t allow you to do anything except to the very best of your ability.

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.

Military school was great and especially great for leadership and then I spent two years in Vietnam.

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

I love tango, and I used to dance when I was young.
