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

In American math classes, we teach a lot of concepts poorly over many years. In the Asian systems they teach you very few concepts very well over a few years.

I feel exhausted if I teach too long.

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

Treat your kid like a darling for the first five years. For the next five years, scold them. By the time they turn sixteen, treat them like a friend. Your grown up children are your best friends.

Touch a scientist and you touch a child.

I 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.

Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.

I read to my kid, but I can’t stand reading.

If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher.

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

You don’t read in your own field. You read in that field when you’re young, so that you can learn.

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.

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.

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

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.

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.

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.

No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.

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

I think about my own sons and my own daughters, and I’m sure that many parents are concerned about what their children are exposed to.

Education is the best provision for old age.

I left school to concentrate on racing. It was a family decision between my mum, dad and myself.

I would fain grow old learning many things.

To endure is the first thing that a child ought to learn, and that which he will have the most need to know.

I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.

You may be educated abroad, you may be a great scientist, politician, but you always have a sneaking fear that if you don’t go to temples or do the ordinary things that you have been told to do, something evil might happen, so you conform. What happens to the mind that conforms? Investigate it, please.

What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.

Every bit of me is devoted to love and art. And I aspire to try to be a teacher to my young fans who feel just like I felt when I was younger. I just felt like a freak. I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m trying to liberate them, I want to free them of their fears and make them feel that they can make their own space in the world.

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.

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.

What I call my ‚self‘ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.

We are not to give credit to the many, who say that none ought to be educated but the free; but rather to the philosophers, who say that the well-educated alone are free.

Let’s not burn the universities yet. After all, the damage they do might be worse.

I need physics more than friends.

It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.

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

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.

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.

When you walk into my classroom, I’m going to give it to you straight, just like in the real world, because that’s the only way to prepare you for the real world.

They know enough who know how to learn.

It takes three to make a child.

College isn’t the place to go for ideas.

Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree’s inclined.

There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination, and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.

If you are giving a graduate course you don’t try to impress the students with oratory, you try to challenge them, get them to question you.

Natural ability without education has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.

I teach children to be winners.

We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.

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

It were a real increase of human happiness, could all young men from the age of nineteen be covered under barrels, or rendered otherwise invisible; and there left to follow their lawful studies and callings, till they emerged, sadder and wiser, at the age of twenty-five.

His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even… knowledge, was foolproof.

The highest grade I’ve taught is the 11th grade, and the youngest I’ve taught is the 4th grade.

Education is not merely neglected in many of our schools today, but is replaced to a great extent by ideological indoctrination.

I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.

Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot.

Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

No one ever teaches well who wants to teach, or governs well who wants to govern.
