| Neil deGrasse Tyson | Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth.

| Samuel L. Jackson | I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend.

| Edward James Olmos | Education is the vaccine for violence. | 101 |

| Gail Godwin | Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths pure theatre. | 101 |

| Kathy Reichs | If you want to be an anthropologist, you need to study physical anthropology specialized in bones. If you want to be a forensic chemist, get a degree in chemistry. Do you want to do DNA work? Get a degree in microbiology. And do well. Study hard and go to graduate school. | 101 |

| Suzanne Fields | Fully 57 percent of American college students are women. Life insurance companies sell more policies to women than to men. As women continue to draw on experience and education, they're accelerating their numbers in upper management, too. | 101 |

| Albio Sires | Middle class families are struggling to send their sons and daughters to school. For many Americans, a college education is essential to future success. | 101 |

| Garry Hynes | My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area. He was always an inspirational teacher. He was my big personal supporter, always coming here for the Tony Awards. My mother, Carmel, was a homemaker. | 101 |
| Howard Aiken | There's my education in computers, right there; this is the whole thing, everything I took out of a book. | 101 |

| Michael Schur | People don't seem to make the connection between their tax money and the benefits that they get from their tax money, like free education, and the fire department, and police protection, and everything else. It drives me bonkers, because it's pretty straightforward to me. | 101 |
| Patricia A. Woertz | Mom worked as a school librarian, and she felt summers were for education. | 101 |
| Paul Sadler | I went to Washington several times at the request of different parties to talk about education reform. I used to always say I felt like I needed to take a shower after I left, because it was so partisan that I just really hated it. | 101 |

| Ron Lewis | Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations. | 101 |
| Sam Weller | Browsing for books with a mouse and screen is not nearly as joyful an act as wandering the stacks and getting lost in the labyrinthine corridors of knowledge. The best libraries are places of imagination, education and community. The best libraries have mystery to them. | 101 |
| Steven Soderbergh | There are three major social issues that this country is struggling with: education, poverty, and drugs. Two of them we talk about, and one of them we don't. | 101 |
| Thomas Frey | My contention is that most students get distracted by music and social media because our current state of education is not sufficiently engaging to command their full attention. | 101 |
| Tommy Rettig | Acid wasn't getting a whole lot of bad press at the time, and as I saw the whole bad-press thing happen, I became aware that the government had done a whole lie on all the other benign drugs as well. It became clear to me that the government wanted no real drug education. | 101 |
| A. Bartlett Giamatti | A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching. | 101 |
| Abraham Flexner | Nations have recently been led to borrow billions for war; no nation has ever borrowed largely for education... no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both. | 101 |
| Ann Plato | A good education is that which prepares us for our future sphere of action and makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be. | 101 |
| Charles Tupper | I do not see any reason why they should not be given the means to give their teachers just as high an education as is secured by attendance at the Protestant schools. | 101 |
| Christopher Paolini | Personally, I had a great education. My mum was a trained teacher, a Montessori teacher, and I know that I could not have written 'Eragon' if I had gone into a public school system because I would have just been too busy attending classes and doing homework - I wouldn't have had the time to write. | 101 |
| Dave Heineman | I am very proud of the quality of public education in Nebraska, but I believe we have an obligation to continually assess whether our system is meeting 21st Century education needs. | 101 |
| Daphne Koller | Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost. And for the millions here and abroad who lack access to good, in-person education, online learning can open doors that would otherwise remain closed. | 101 |
| David Horowitz | A university is not a political party, and an education is not an indoctrination. | 101 |
| David Puttnam | There is no education system in the world - none at all - that's better than its average teacher. | 101 |
| Douglas R. Oberhelman | I, for one, struggle a little bit with a $250,000 education for a philosophy degree. They are a wonderful people, but we can't employ philosophers in manufacturing in the United States. We need a one- or two-year technical add-on for a high school. | 101 |
| Gaston Caperton | That's the value of a college education... I don't know anywhere in the world where you can make an investment and make that kind of return. | 101 |
| Janet Napolitano | Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access, transportation, telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce, the development of capital and the regulatory market. | 101 |
| Millicent Fawcett | A large part of the present anxiety to improve the education of girls and women is also due to the conviction that the political disabilities of women will not be maintained. | 101 |
| Rick Wagoner | There are some things that I like, like education, wine, and I'd like to be a good cook, although I'm a pretty good eater now. | 101 |
| Roy Romer | The need for a college education is even more important now than it was before, but I think that the increased costs are a very severe obstacle to access. It is an American dream, and I think that one of our challenges is to find a way to make that available. | 101 |
| Shelley Berkley | Nobody wants to pay higher taxes. But do you want your kids to get a good education? You have to pay for that. Do you want Medicare for senior citizens? I do. We have to pay for it. | 101 |
| Alex Newell | It will be impossible for us to eradicate HIV as long as any corner of the world is cut off from the education and services that we know helps stop the spread of this disease. | 101 |
| Alexis Herman | Education is important because, first of all, people need to know that discrimination still exists. It is still real in the workplace, and we should not take that for granted. | 101 |
| Anne Campbell | There is still a lot of misinformation being spread about higher education funding arrangements under the new Act. The students page on my website sets out the main points in the Act. | 101 |
| Beah Richards | Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people? | 101 |

| Daniel S. Loeb | Perhaps I was always intensely curious, but my Columbia education gave me a framework and a perspective to investigate new things - things that could be put into a historical and philosophical lineage. | 101 |
| David Baker | No one bill will cure the problem of spam. It will take a combined effort of legislation, litigation, enforcement, customer education, and technology solutions. | 101 |
| Denis Dutton | It's clear on the one hand that an education enriches and informs a response to beauty, even makes it possible in esoteric cases. On the other hand, there's no question that someone with no musical education whatsoever might wander into a concert hall and be overwhelmed by the 'Beethoven Pastoral Symphony'. | 101 |
| Jose Ferreira | We know everything about what you know and how you learn best because we get so much data. And education is the highest-stakes media product in your life. It's infinitely more important than your Facebook friends' status updates or your Google search results because it's your future. | 101 |
| Julia Gillard | Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these in turn rely on the education of our people. | 101 |

| Stanley Fish | In general, higher education does not know how to speak for its interests. It offers a stance that is defensive, cowardly and likely to be ineffective. | 101 |
| Allen Weinstein | We live in a world of increasing dependence on electronic records and retrieval, unprecedented security and preservation concerns, and insufficient attention to civic and democratic education. | 101 |
| Anna Garlin Spencer | Can a woman become a genius of the first class? Nobody can know unless women in general shall have equal opportunity with men in education, in vocational choice, and in social welcome of their best intellectual work for a number of generations. | 101 |
| James Heckman | The goal, I think, of American education, for decades, and across many, many scholars, was basically to teach people broad lessons in how to live life, how to engage life, how to essentially be effective citizens and effective people. | 101 |
| Jerome Isaac Friedman | The education of my brother and myself was of paramount importance to my parents, and in addition to their strong encouragement, they were prepared to make any sacrifice to further our intellectual development. | 101 |
| Jim Jeffords | We have a responsibility to ensure that every individual has the opportunity to receive a high-quality education, from prekindergarten to elementary and secondary, to special education, to technical and higher education and beyond. | 101 |
| Mel Martinez | It's shortsighted not to view the education of a future generation of Americans as a priority for all Americans. | 101 |
| Rob McKenna | There is an analogy between conservation and education reform. The coalition around education reform is the biggest bipartisan thing going in this state right now. We need to recapture the big bipartisan spirit for conservation. | 101 |
| Stephen Vizinczey | Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. | 101 |
| Susan Strasberg | As far as I can see, about the only thing I've missed is a college education. | 101 |
| Jim Himes | I remain as committed as ever to working across party lines with anyone who believes we must invest in the future of our economy by revitalizing our transportation infrastructure, ensuring every child is getting a world class education, and spurring research and development of new technologies. | 101 |
| John Francis | I say I am a Planetwalker. Then I have to explain that a Planetwalker is anyone who walks the planet as a lifestyle choice, as part of an education in the spirit and hope of using the journey to benefit the world. | 101 |
| Mark Pocan | By making college unaffordable and student loans unbearable, we risk deterring our best and brightest from pursuing higher education and securing a good-paying job. | 101 |
| Muhammadu Buhari | Boosting education will be a direct counterbalance to Boko Haram's appeal. In particular we must educate more young girls, ensuring they will grow up to be empowered through learning to play their full part as citizens of Nigeria and pull themselves up and out of poverty. | 101 |
| Richard Levin | Global education is not a zero-sum game. The rise of universities in Asia will be a benefit to the entire world. | 101 |
| Severo Ochoa | Being a native of Spain, the country to which I owe much of my education and cultural background, I was deeply influenced by my great predecessor Santiago Ramon y Cajal. | 101 |
| Sigrid Undset | I was sent to a school because my father was already aware that his days were numbered, and he was anxious for me to acquire a good education and follow in his footsteps. | 101 |
| Andy Andrews | I believe that any type of education can be great, but an education about ourselves can create something wonderful. I am a comedian, but people have called me a motivational speaker. I don't really consider myself that at all. | 101 |
| Jan C. Ting | Besides taking jobs from American workers, illegal immigration creates huge economic burdens on our health care system, our education system, our criminal justice system, our environment, our infrastructure and our public safety. | 101 |
| Judy Biggert | Research has shown time and time again that infants who receive the high-quality child care and early education programs do better in school, have more developed social skills, and display fewer behavior problems. | 101 |
| Jonas Gahr Store | I think integration in Norway is, by all standards, going relatively well. People are working, taking education, learning the language. But, yes, it is a challenge. And democracy and democratic debate has to be open to take that debate openly and not push questions aside. | 101 |
| Martin Bormann | Every educated person is a future enemy. | 101 |
| Matthew Lawrence | Hollywood is fickle; your career can end pretty fast. If the acting jobs dry up, you have to have something to fall back on. In fact, that would be my advice to kids interested in acting - make sure you get an education too. | 101 |
| Jim Knight | The changing economic situation, the changing global market means it is understandable that employers are constantly raising the bar. It is challenging the education system to come up with ever higher standards to meet the expectation of employers. | 101 |
| Joan Ganz Cooney | My degree was in education, but the idea of being a teacher lost out to being a reporter. I worked at a newspaper for a while, then went to New York and worked in PR at RCA and NBC, and at 'The United States Steel Hour,' a drama series. | 101 |
| Johannes Rau | But it is equally necessary to consider the implications for a society if there are fewer and fewer young people making music because we are economising on music schools or musical education in schools. | 101 |
| Jillian Bach | My personal advice is to go to school first and get a liberal arts education, and then if you want to pursue acting, go to graduate school. | 101 |

| John Hannah | Higher education must lead the march back to the fundamentals of human relationships, to the old discovery that is ever new, that man does not live by bread alone. | 101 |
| John T. Walton | There is a growing acceptance and interest in publicly funded school choice as a catalyst for education reform in general and a way to empower parents to be education reformers. | 101 |
| Bernie Sanders | The cost of college education today is so high that many young people are giving up their dream of going to college, while many others are graduating deeply in debt. | 102 |
| William Butler Yeats | Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire. | 102 |
| Abigail Adams | Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence. | 102 |
| Jean Piaget | The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things. | 102 |
| Alvin Toffler | The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn. | 102 |
| Clarence Thomas | Good manners will open doors that the best education cannot. | 102 |
| Conrad Hall | You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward. | 102 |
| Cornel West | A black agenda is jobs, jobs, jobs, quality education, investment in infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The black agenda, at its best, looks at America from the vantage point of the least of these and asks what's best for all. | 102 |
| Dee Dee Myers | Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession, education, hours worked, age, marital status, and children, men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions, like nursing, dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap. | 102 |
| Derek Bok | Education, and I regret to say this as an educator, but there's no indication that education has a direct effect on happiness. | 102 |
| Gordon Gee | So if a college education is indispensable, the challenge as I see it is how to make it more accessible. | 102 |
| Leonard Boswell | The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals. | 102 |
| Lucretia Mott | Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. | 102 |
| Malcolm Forbes | Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one. | 102 |
| Michael Gove | As long as there are people in education making excuses for failure, cursing future generations with a culture of low expectations, denying children access to the best that has been thought and written, because Nemo and the Mister Men are more relevant, the battle needs to be joined. | 102 |
| Nita Ambani | Education is not a tool for development - individual, community and the nation. It is the foundation for our future. It is empowerment to make choices and emboldens the youth to chase their dreams. | 102 |
| Norman Cousins | A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life. | 102 |
| Paulo Freire | Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information. | 102 |
| Rick Perry | Reforming public education, cutting property taxes, fixing adult and child protective services and funding our budget can all occur when Democrats and Republicans engage in consensus and cooperation - not cynicism and combat. | 102 |
| Roger Moore | Over the next two years UNICEF will focus on improving access to and the quality of education to provide children who have dropped out of school or who work during school hours the opportunity to gain a formal education! | 102 |
| Sarah Zettel | I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind. | 102 |
| Sebastian Thrun | If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on. | 102 |
| William Godwin | He that loves reading has everything within his reach. | 102 |
| William J. Clinton | It turns out that advancing equal opportunity and economic empowerment is both morally right and good economics, because discrimination, poverty and ignorance restrict growth, while investments in education, infrastructure and scientific and technological research increase it, creating more good jobs and new wealth for all of us. | 102 |
| Brad Sherman | If we want our children to value education, then we must show our appreciation for knowledge. | 102 |
| Chris Burke | Don't give up on the child. Give the child an education. Give them daily love. | 102 |
| Felix Bloch | I am sure my fellow-scientists will agree with me if I say that whatever we were able to achieve in our later years had its origin in the experiences of our youth and in the hopes and wishes which were formed before and during our time as students. | 102 |
| Franklin Graham | We have taken God out of our education system. We have taken Him out of government. You have lawyers that sue you every time you mention the name of Jesus Christ in any public forum. | 102 |
| Gaylord Nelson | In the state of Wisconsin it's mandated that teachers in the social sciences and hard sciences have to start giving environmental education by the first grade, through high school. | 102 |
| Helene D. Gayle | The difference between rich and poor is becoming more extreme, and as income inequality widens the wealth gap in major nations, education, health and social mobility are all threatened. | 102 |
| Henry Williamson | Education must be aimed at creating a wider imagination in the child, not at suppressing. The child's mind must be set free. | 102 |
| Ja Rule | Being incarcerated is truly very serious, and it has changed my life to such an extent that breaking the cycle has become my sole focus. Jail is definitely not cool. Education is. | 102 |
| John Marshall | My father superintended the English part of my education, and to his care I am indebted for anything valuable which I may have acquired in my youth. He was my only intelligent companion, and was both a watchful parent and an affectionate friend. | 102 |
| Kamisese Mara | The family teaches us about the importance of knowledge, education, hard work and effort. It teaches us about enjoying ourselves, having fun, keeping fit and healthy. | 102 |
| Ken Starr | Higher educating has so many challenges, and private higher education has a special challenge of ever rising tuition costs. | 102 |
| Paul LePage | If you want a good education, go to private schools. If you can't afford it, tough luck. You can go to the public school. | 102 |
| Philip Pullman | True education flowers at the point when delight falls in love with responsibility. | 102 |
| Pierre Bourdieu | The point of my work is to show that culture and education aren't simply hobbies or minor influences. | 102 |

| Shashi Tharoor | Education in India has made monumental progress since Independence but continues to face daunting challenges at multiple levels, particularly in terms of quality, infrastructure and dropout rates. We have islands of excellence floating in a sea of mediocrity. | 102 |
| Sherry Turkle | The most used program in computers and education is PowerPoint. What are you learning about the nature of the medium by knowing how do to a great PowerPoint presentation? Nothing. It certainly doesn't teach you how to think critically about living in a culture of simulation. | 102 |
| Shirin Ebadi | When a person is humiliated, when his rights are being violated, and he does not have the proper education, naturally he gravitates toward terrorism. | 102 |
| Wendi Deng Murdoch | I really make sure that my girls understand the importance of education. I don't want them to be spoilt and only know private school kids. I want them to behave well by example. | 102 |
| Alex Tabarrok | Education is the key to the future: You've heard it a million times, and it's not wrong. Educated people have higher wages and lower unemployment rates, and better-educated countries grow faster and innovate more than other countries. But going to college is not enough. You also have to study the right subjects. | 102 |
| Azim Premji | A girl child who is even a little bit educated is more conscious of family planning, health care and, in turn, her children's own education. | 102 |
| Cat Cora | I believe that parents need to make nutrition education a priority in their home environment. It's crucial for good health and longevity to instill in your children sound eating habits from an early age. | 102 |
| Dick Gephardt | I grew up in a household that was a labor household. My dad was a Teamster and a milk truck driver. My mother was a secretary. Neither of them got through high school. But they worked hard and they gave me very, very important opportunities to go to school, get a good education. | 102 |
| Donna Shalala | Sex education has to do with what's in people's head. | 102 |
| Dwight Yoakam | My parents were not affluent people and were not - didn't come from the extremities of education. My mother had a high school diploma. I often think I so wish she'd come out of the hills in Appalachia and been able to go on to college. I think she would have made a wonderful teacher. | 102 |
| E. L. Konigsburg | Growing up in a small town gives you two things: a sense of place and a feeling of self-consciousness - self-consciousness about one's education and exposure, both of which tend to be limited. On the other hand, limited possibilities also mean creating your own options. | 102 |
| Ernest Renan | The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life. | 102 |
| Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani | I really don't want you to think of Qatar as a hydrocarbon country alone. We know that hydrocarbons will come and go. But education will stay. It is the most important thing for us. | 102 |
| Heinrich Boll | The Nazi period could have happened only in Germany because the German education of obedience to any law and order was the main problem. | 102 |
| John Glenn | The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel. | 102 |
| Kent Conrad | Access to computers and the Internet has become a basic need for education in our society. | 102 |
| Pallam Raju | The Indian youth needs to be empowered, and it can be done through good education and vocational training. | 102 |

She wanted me to get a good education, and she just told me that the best thing I could do is just study hard. | 102 |
| Tammy Faye Bakker | You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God. | 102 |
| Timothy Murphy | Illegal immigration is crisis for our country. It is an open door for drugs, criminals, and potential terrorists to enter our country. It is straining our economy, adding costs to our judicial, healthcare, and education systems. | 102 |
| Antonia Fraser | My advantage as a woman and a human being has been in having a mother who believed strongly in women's education. She was an early undergraduate at Oxford, and her own mother was a doctor. | 102 |
| Bev Perdue | Education has fundamentally changed my life. It's perhaps the mission of my life. I'm wed to it in a very powerful and personal way. And I chose the pathway that I believe could make me the most significant on changing the outcomes that we see now in North Carolina. | 102 |
| Bill Bennett | The higher amount you put into higher education, at the federal level particularly, the more the price of higher education rises. It's the dog that never catches its tail. You increase student loans, you increase grants, you increase Pell grants, Stafford loans, and what happens? They raise the price. | 102 |
| Bob Harper | Since I started CrossFit, I've read and heard about the critics talk about how unsafe it is, and my only response to that is any form of exercise can be unsafe if you don't have the proper coaching, education and guidance. | 102 |
| Bob Taft | A dynamic economy begins with a good education. | 102 |
| George Miller | President-elect Bush spoke in a forceful and candid manner that it is his passion that all children should have access to a first class education. | 102 |
| Kerry Healey | Well, I think that abstinence has its place as part of a comprehensive health and sex education curriculum. It would be wrong to exclude abstinence from a health curriculum, because there are some potentially very serious ramifications for early sexual activity. | 102 |
| Linda Sanchez | Latinos are concerned about the same pocketbook issues that matter to most middle class Americans - creating good-paying jobs in this country, making sure our children get a quality education, and ensuring that our families have access to affordable and quality healthcare. | 102 |
| Ron Lewis | Financial literacy is an issue that should command our attention because many Americans are not adequately organizing finances for their education, healthcare and retirement. | 102 |
| Sam Donaldson | And really, the basis, I think, of achieving some success in what I want to do today comes from my mother's push to get me to read and to make something of myself from the standpoint of an education. | 102 |
| Seth Grahame-Smith | Abraham Lincoln comes from nothing, has no education, no money, lives in the middle of nowhere on the frontier. And despite the fact that he suffers one tragedy and one setback after another, through sheer force of will, he becomes something extraordinary: not only the president but the person who almost single-handedly united the country. | 102 |
| Thomas Bulfinch | Thus we hope to teach mythology not as a study, but as a relaxation from study; to give our work the charm of a story-book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge of an important branch of education. | 102 |
| Brooks Atkinson | It takes most men five years to recover from a college education, and to learn that poetry is as vital to thinking as knowledge. | 102 |
| Cesar Pelli | When I finished high school, I was 16, and in Argentina you have to choose a career right after high school. There is no such thing as a liberal arts education. | 102 |
| Clifford Stoll | Data is not information, information is not knowledge, knowledge is not understanding, understanding is not wisdom. | 102 |
| Donald Bren | My two primary areas of focus have been open-space conservation and education, and I expect those to remain my priorities in the future. The Irvine open space and parklands provide serenity and balance to our unique Orange County lifestyle. | 102 |
| Geoffrey Holder | Education begins at home. You can't blame the school for not putting into your child what you don't put into him. | 102 |
| Joseph Lancaster | THE rich possess ample means to realize any theory they may chuse to adopt in the education of their children, regardless of the cost; but it is not so with him whose Subsistence is derived from industry. | 102 |
| Bryan Stevenson | Many states can no longer afford to support public education, public benefits, public services without doing something about the exorbitant costs that mass incarceration have created. | 102 |
| Christopher Bond | Misdirected focus on paperwork, on procedures, and on bureaucracy frustrates teachers and fails to give children the education they need. | 102 |
| Conrad Burns | Vocational education programs have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide; they build self-confidence and leadership skills by allowing students to utilize their unique gifts and talents. | 102 |
| Jon Tester | You've got to have a good public education system so small-business owners, when they locate to an area, are confident their kids are getting the best education possible. I feel strongly about local control in school districts. | 102 |
| Joshua Lederberg | I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities. | 102 |
| Mia Love | The government is not your salvation. The government is not your road to prosperity. Hard work, education will take you far beyond what any government program can ever promise. | 102 |
| Michael Badnarik | When the state or federal government control the education of all of our children, they have the dangerous and illegitimate monopoly to control and influence the thought process of our citizens. | 102 |
| Rod McKuen | We need sex education in schools, but we need it at home first. We need parents to learn the names of the teachers who are teaching their children. We need families to question day-care centers, to question other children and their own as to what goes on. | 102 |
| Anant Agarwal | A large number of students around the world don't really have access to high quality education. So, launching EdX allows students all over the world to have much better access to a high quality education from a university such as Harvard, MIT, Berkeley and others as we add more universities. | 102 |
| B. R. Hayden | Religion and education are no match for evil without the grace of God. | 102 |
| Jodi Rell | The best math lesson we can teach college students this year is to subtract a tuition increase and benefit from the dividends of higher education. | 102 |
| Shukla Bose | Parikrma aims to give underprivileged children an equal chance at education so they can integrate with kids of private schools and, later, with the society. I want these children to hold high-end jobs at multinational companies and not work at the lower end of the spectrum. | 102 |
| Avery Brundage | The Olympic Games must not be an end in itself, they must be a means of creating a vast programme of physical education and sports competitions for all young people. | 102 |
| Charles Handy | Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child. | 102 |
| Morris Dees | The focus of tolerance education is to deal with the concept of equality and fairness. We need to establish confidence with children that there is more goodness than horror in this world. | 102 |
| John Bradshaw | In 'Reclaiming Virtue,' I argue that we have had an element missing in moral education. That element is 'affect.' Affect is simply the technical word for feeling or emotion. | 102 |
| John Agyekum Kufuor | Education, particularly higher education, will take Africa into the mainstream of globalization. | 102 |
| Aristotle | The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet. | 103 |

| W. E. B. Du Bois | Education must not simply teach work - it must teach Life. | 103 |
| James A. Baldwin | The 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. | 103 |
| Ai Weiwei | When you have strict censorship of the internet, young students cannot receive a full education. Their view of the world is imbalanced. There can be no true discussion of the issues. | 103 |
| Ben Bernanke | As an educator myself, I understand the profound effect that good teachers and a quality education have on the lives of our young people. | 103 |
| Bobby Scott | No one should be denied the opportunity to get an education and increase their earning potential based solely on their inability to pay for a college education. | 103 |
| Clarence Thomas | My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal. | 103 |
| Dianne Feinstein | 'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. | 103 |
| Ellen Ochoa | I tell students that the opportunities I had were a result of having a good educational background. Education is what allows you to stand out. | 103 |
| Geoffrey Canada | An extended school day gives administrators the ability to ensure children get a well-rounded education. | 103 |
| Gordon Brown | We need quantitative assessments of the success of education. We need certification and qualifications both for teachers and for pupils. It is not a choice between quantity and quality, between access and excellence. Both of these will happen together if people really do believe in the importance of education to change lives. | 103 |
| Harvey S. Firestone | It is only as we develop others that we permanently succeed. | 103 |
| Horace Mann | Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. | 103 |
| Isabel Allende | Giving women education, work, the ability to control their own income, inherit and own property, benefits the society. If a woman is empowered, her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper, the village prospers, and eventually so does the whole country. | 103 |
| John Cleese | He who laughs most, learns best. | 103 |
| Kent McCord | I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out. | 103 |
| Liberty Hyde Bailey | The true purpose of education is to teach a man to carry himself triumphant to the sunset. | 103 |
| Maynard James Keenan | If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets. | 103 |
| Nicholas Negroponte | My goal is not selling laptops. OLPC is not in the laptop business. It's in the education business. | 103 |
| Nolan Bushnell | I want to fix education in the world. As soon as I work on that, I am going to work on world hunger and then world peace. | 103 |
| Norman Cousins | It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another, his education is incomplete. | 103 |
| Patty Murray | I think what's been lacking from our discussion for a long time is really that other part of what a Budget chair does, which is set the priorities for this country in terms of making sure we invest in the right places, in education, in job training, and to make sure we do a balanced approach moving forward. | 103 |
| Piers Anthony | In fact, I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture, here in America, so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it. | 103 |
| Rutherford B. Hayes | Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority. | 103 |
| Solange Knowles | We are getting an education of a lifetime. We're actually out there in the real world. | 103 |
| Ulrich Beck | You need education. You need subsistence protection. We need jobs and social security. These are preconditions under which it will perhaps be possible to deal with these complex circumstances. | 103 |
| Vikas Swarup | Knowledge is not just the preserve of the educated elite. Just because someone has not had a formal education, that does not mean he does not have wisdom and common sense. | 103 |
| Wendy Kopp | We look for people who demonstrate perseverance in the face of challenges, the ability to influence and motivate others - people who want to work relentlessly to ensure that kids who are facing the challenges of poverty have an excellent education. | 103 |
| William Glasser | If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve. | 103 |
| William Morris | I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few. | 103 |
| William S. Burroughs | The aim of education is the knowledge, not of facts, but of values. | 103 |
| Yoshihiko Noda | Interactions between fathers and children are the starting point of education. | 103 |
| Zaha Hadid | Good education is so important. We do need to look at the way people are taught. It not just about qualifications to get a job. It's about being educated. | 103 |
| Alison Gopnik | We have lots of evidence that putting investments in early childhood education, even evidence from very hard-nosed economists, is one of the very best investments that the society can possibly make. And yet we still don't have public support for things like preschools. | 103 |
| Alphonso Jackson | The dream doesn't lie in victimization or blame; it lies in hard work, determination and a good education. | 103 |
| Esha Gupta | Martial arts should be part of every girl's education. | 103 |
| Fred Savage | I would suggest maintaining a life and a career outside the Industry. This is a fickle business and a lousy one to make a steady living in, so it's important to have a good family, friends, job and education to fall back on. | 103 |
| Hank Johnson | The rising costs of higher education coupled with the stress of paying student loans are putting increasing pressure on students. | 103 |
| Harri Holkeri | I do not want to speak about overpopulation or birth control, but I think education is the way to give new impetus to the poverty question. | 103 |
| Jane Elliot | Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism. | 103 |
| Lynda Resnick | Art is a critical component in a well-rounded education. Art is the level playing field - no matter how rich or poor, tall or short, pretty or ugly to the bone, if you can draw, you can find personal fulfillment and build self-confidence. Art is the highest achievement of mankind. | 103 |
| Martin Rees | Crucial to science education is hands-on involvement: showing, not just telling; real experiments and field trips and not just 'virtual reality.' | 103 |
| Matt Blunt | Public education is an investment in our future. | 103 |
| Michael Morpurgo | One of the great failings of our education system is that we tend to focus on those who are succeeding in exams, and there are plenty of them. But what we should also be looking at, and a lot more urgently, is those who fail. | 103 |
| Amanda Hearst | In 2009, designer Tina Tangalakis went on a volunteer trip to Ghana and instantly fell in love with the country and its people. It was from that trip that Della was born, a company that provides jobs, education, and skills training to women in Ghana. | 103 |
| Blanche Lincoln | Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream. | 103 |
| Chetan Bhagat | While I am a capitalist at heart and I have no problems with commercialization as such, I believe that while it's okay if education becomes a profitable business, it's not okay if it becomes corrupt. | 103 |
| Chris Van Hollen | As we get closer to the end of this Congress, we should be addressing the urgent needs of the American people - the war in Iraq, affordable health care, a sensible energy policy, quality education for our children, retirement security, and a sound and fair fiscal policy. | 103 |
| Dan Shechtman | The good news is world population growth rate decreases systematically and is expected to reach zero by 2050, thanks to urbanisation and women's education. | 103 |
| Grace Abbott | The first and continuing argument for the curtailment of working hours and the raising of the minimum age was that education was necessary in a democracy and working children could not attend school. | 103 |
| Jim Yong Kim | Water and sanitation has not had the same kind of champion that global health, and even education, have had. | 103 |
| John Sununu | Growing up, I was encouraged to get a good education, get a real job doing something I enjoyed, and, should the opportunity present itself, consider public service as just that: a chance to serve, not an end in itself. | 103 |
| Ken Marino | To go from working with a group of people in a sketch-comedy show on a small network, where it was all about just creating funny stuff, to being on a network show, and the pressures of that, and getting to know the new people who were involved in it. There was a learning curve for me. But it was an education. | 103 |
| Pallam Raju | There is definitely a need for increasing capacity in higher education; a large part of this is being met in the technical education segment by the private sector and in the non-technical by the state sector. In the public sector, we will do whatever we can afford. | 103 |
| Rosamund Pike | Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature. | 103 |
| Edmund Barton | It is the duty of the State to educate, and the right of the people to demand education. | 103 |
| Julian Bond | I tell young people to prepare themselves as best they can for a world that grows more challenging every day-get the best education they can, and couple that education with real-life experience in social justice work. | 103 |
| Ronnie James Dio | My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education. | 103 |
| Abdullah Ahmad Badawi | Of course education becomes very very important and that's for our human resource development. | 103 |
| Alan Autry | Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system as its fundamental key to success. | 103 |
| Bunker Roy | School is something that you learn - reading and writing. Education is what you learn from the family, from the environment, from the community. | 103 |
| Gaston Caperton | The gap in education in this country, the unfairness of the schools, is one of the great unfairness in this society. | 103 |
| James L. Farmer, Jr. | Inner city education must change. Our responsibility is not merely to provide access to knowledge; we must produce educated people. | 103 |
| Joseph Lancaster | Many thousands of youth have been deprived of the benefit of education thereby, their morals ruined, and talents irretrievably lost to society, for want of cultivation: while two parties have been idly contending who should bestow it. | 103 |
| Soleil Moon Frye | To have a sense of education and ethics is important. | 103 |
| Tracy McGrady | Education is key. I graduated from high school; everyone needs to. | 103 |
| Diana Lopez | Most everything I do revolves around tae kwon do. That said, I like to be a typical girl and go shopping. I have three nieces and nephews that I like to hang out with. I'm also finishing my last semester at the University of Houston, where I'm majoring in childhood education. | 103 |
| James Van Der Beek | Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff, a tremendous education, incredible opportunity, it changed my life - it was a marathon, and by the end of it I was pretty beat. | 103 |
| Rod Blagojevich | I know each fund has its supporters, and that some will not want to see the surplus go to schools. But, in tough times, you have to set priorities. And our priority is education. | 103 |
| Sidney Hook | Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system. | 103 |
| Sue Johanson | Americans are a decade behind Canada when it comes to sex education and understanding their bodies. | 103 |
| Charles K. Kao | The primary school I attended in Shanghai was a very liberal one, established by scholars who had return from an education in France. The children of leading families were enrolled there, including the son of a well-known man believed to be a top gangster of the underworld! | 103 |
| John Katzman | The Internet is the first technology since the printing press which could lower the cost of a great education and, in doing so, make that cost-benefit analysis much easier for most students. It could allow American schools to service twice as many students as they do now, and in ways that are both effective and cost-effective. | 103 |
| Jane Rule | The message of women's liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education. | 103 |
| John Hope | If money, education, and honesty will not bring to me as much privilege, as much equality as they bring to any American citizen, then they are to me a curse, and not a blessing. | 103 |
| Aristotle | It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. | 104 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | 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. | 104 |
| John Locke | The only fence against the world is a thorough knowledge of it. | 104 |
| Malala Yousafzai | In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other part of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond. | 104 |
| Ray Bradbury | 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. | 104 |
| Jean Piaget | It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth. | 104 |
| John Maynard Keynes | Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent. | 104 |
| Maria Montessori | Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war. | 104 |
| Ben Horowitz | The important thing about mobile is, everybody has a computer in their pocket. The implications of so many people connected to the Internet all the time from the standpoint of education is incredible. | 104 |
| Bobby Scott | Studies have shown that inmate participation in education, vocational and job training, prison work skills development, drug abuse, mental health and other treatment programs, all reduce recidivism, significantly. | 104 |
| Ciara | Education is everything - education is your power, education is your way in life for whatever you want to do. | 104 |
| Dee Dee Myers | As women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes. | 104 |
| Derek Bok | For some students, especially in the sciences, the knowledge gained in college may be directly relevant to graduate study. For almost all students, a liberal arts education works in subtle ways to create a web of knowledge that will illumine problems and enlighten judgment on innumerable occasions in later life. | 104 |
| Eduardo Galeano | I remember that - you know, I didn't receive a formal education. I was educated in the Montevideo cafe, in the cafes of Montevideo. There, I received my first lessons in the art of telling stories, storytelling. | 104 |
| Frances Perkins | To one who believes that really good industrial conditions are the hope for a machine civilization, nothing is more heartening than to watch conference methods and education replacing police methods. | 104 |
| Itzhak Perlman | I am playing the violin, that's all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day. | 104 |
| Jonathan Kozol | Racial segregation has come back to public education with a vengeance. | 104 |
| Josephine Baker | You must get an education. You must go to school, and you must learn to protect yourself. And you must learn to protect yourself with the pen, and not the gun. | 104 |
| Leonard Boswell | The pride people take in their work transcends to their homes, their education, families and communities. | 104 |
| Louis V. Gerstner, Jr. | Whether the task is fixing health care, upgrading K-12 education, bolstering national security, or a host of other missions, the U.S. is better at patching problems than fixing them. | 104 |
| N. R. Narayana Murthy | All developmental activities for the common man such as education, healthcare, shelter and food distribution should be handled by reputed private sector institutions. It should be a competitive market in order to prevent the formation of monopolies. | 104 |
| Nancy Astor | Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity. | 104 |
| Nicholas M. Butler | America is the best half-educated country in the world. | 104 |
| Patty Murray | Good education means learning to read, write and most importantly learn how to learn so that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up. | 104 |
| Queen Rania of Jordan | In education, technology can be a life-changer, a game changer, for kids who are both in school and out of school. Technology can bring textbooks to life. The Internet can connect students to their peers in other parts of the world. It can bridge the quality gaps. | 104 |
| Ronaldinho | I am what I am thanks to my mother, my father, my brother, my sister... because they have given me everything. The education I have is thanks to them. | 104 |
| Shakuntala Devi | Education is not just about going to school and getting a degree. It's about widening your knowledge and absorbing the truth about life. | 104 |
| Victoria Wood | Music is an element that should be part and parcel of every child's life via the education system. | 104 |
| Wendell Phillips | What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better. | 104 |
| William Glasser | Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it's really bad because everything we've done is de-humanizing education. It's destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship. | 104 |
| Amos Bronson Alcott | Observation more than books and experience more than persons, are the prime educators. | 104 |
| Bill Frist | Every child should have the opportunity to receive a quality education. | 104 |
| Damian Marley | I grew up in uptown Jamaica; I went to a rich school. I was raised by my mother and my stepfather; they made sure education came before anything. I had a good childhood, grew up spending time with my bigger brothers and sisters. My people are good people. I was exposed to a lot of different kinds of people and culture. | 104 |
| Danica McKellar | I recognize that I have a unique position to be a role model to young girls because I am doing something that they consider glamorous, which is acting, and yet I took a time to really get my education and study mathematics, and I think math is the cat's meow. | 104 |
| David Price | The impending teacher shortage is the most critical education issue we will face in the next decade. | 104 |
| Eleanor Catton | I vote far-left. I am frequently angered by corporate greed and think education ought to be free and teachers paid well. | 104 |
| Elizabeth Blackwell | Our school education ignores, in a thousand ways, the rules of healthy development. | 104 |
| Eva Longoria | I was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, the youngest of four girls, including my oldest sister, Lisa, who has special needs. My mom was a special education teacher, and my dad worked on the Army base. We weren't wealthy, but we were determined to succeed. | 104 |
| Jerry Lewis | I never got a formal education. So my intellect is my common sense. I don't have anything else going for me. And my common sense opens the door to instinct. | 104 |
| Jim Brown | Even though the money is great and the fame is great, you still have a lot of disenfranchised young men that are participating in the NFL that are not very happy. A lot of them are very bitter. A lot them are very angry. So many of them have had no fathers and no home life, and basically, no education. | 104 |
| Lafcadio Hearn | For this reason, to study English literature without some general knowledge of the relation of the Bible to that literature would be to leave one's literary education very incomplete. | 104 |
| Martin O'Malley | The most valuable investment we can make is in our children's education. When we make education a priority, we give our children opportunity. Opportunity to learn at higher levels than their parents were able to learn; to earn at higher levels than we were able to earn. | 104 |
| Robert M. Hutchins | Education is not to reform students or amuse them or to make them expert technicians. It is to unsettle their minds, widen their horizons, inflame their intellects, teach them to think straight, if possible. | 104 |
| Russell Baker | An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious - just dead wrong. | 104 |
| Sebastian Coe | It is really important that we promote competitive support in schools. It is very important that we recognise that has to be underpinned by good quality physical education and by getting people into patterns of exercise. | 104 |
| Bobby Vinton | All around as a person, on right decisions, on holding your money, on doing your trade, a good education is a must. I don't think I would've done as good without an education. | 104 |
| Clay Aiken | If my career detour from special education to singing has done one thing, it has afforded me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of others. | 104 |
| Erik Estrada | My new passion is to get Internet education mandated in all schools. We've got to start teaching our kids how to be safe in the 40,000 plus chat rooms that are out there. Because they're being had. These sexual predators groom the kids. I know, I've arrested enough of them. | 104 |
| George Weah | I believe education should be a right for every child, but tragically in many parts of world it is a privilege for certain children whose parents have money. There are 72 million children in the world who don't go to school and many of them are in Africa. | 104 |
| Jeff Rich | If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. | 104 |
| Jennifer Garner | We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way. | 104 |
| Matthew Morrison | I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had. | 104 |
| Pauline Phillips | True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance. | 104 |
| Alan Perlis | It goes against the grain of modern education to teach students to program. What fun is there to making plans, acquiring discipline, organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self critical. | 104 |
| Denise Juneau | I look back and see the kids who made it through school - it made a huge difference in their lives, which made me believe in the power of public education and what it can do for individuals and communities and the state. | 104 |
| Jesse Helms | Such schemes take money from people who can least afford to spend it to support an unneeded bureaucracy that eats money people thought they were providing for education. | 104 |
| Julie Walters | My mother was born on a tiny farm in County Mayo. She was meant to stay at home and look after the farm while her brother and sister got an education. However, she came to England on a visit and never went back. | 104 |
| Ryan White | We had great faith that with patience, understanding, and education, that my family and I could be helpful in changing their minds and attitudes around. | 104 |
| Ted Strickland | The connection between education and a healthy economy is critical. | 104 |
| Tom Barrett | Education, in K-12, technical college and universities needs to be a top priority in Wisconsin. | 104 |
| Aaron Levie | My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently. | 104 |
| Arne Duncan | Even in a time of fiscal austerity, education is more than just an expense. | 104 |
| Julie Bowen | My parents had an old-fashioned ideal of college, that four years at a liberal arts college should be a liberal arts education. | 104 |

| Alexander Pope | Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. | 105 |
| Ben Carson | Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can't afford to throw any young people away. | 105 |
| Georgia O'Keeffe | I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. | 105 |
| Maria Montessori | If education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind? | 105 |
| Ravi Zacharias | You can only learn so much from books. You can only learn so much from education. Ultimately, it is the wisdom of God that will carry you through in the toughest situations of life. | 105 |
| Annie Besant | What, after all, is the object of education? To train the body in health, vigor and grace, so that it may express the emotions in beauty and the mind with accuracy and strength. | 105 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Education promotes equality and lifts people out of poverty. It teaches children how to become good citizens. Education is not just for a privileged few, it is for everyone. It is a fundamental human right. | 105 |
| Bo Jackson | I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line. | 105 |
| Brad Henry | Education is not solely about earning a great living. It means living a great life. | 105 |
| Charles Barkley | Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny. | 105 |
| Charlotte Bronte | Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow firm there, firm as weeds among stones. | 105 |
| Earl Warren | In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. | 105 |
| Gordon Gee | Founded when Abraham Lincoln believed education could lead the nation out of its darkest days, Ohio State now provides a powerful platform of interdisciplinary academic programs, world-class scholars, outstanding students, and extensive research capabilities. | 105 |
| Haile Gebrselassie | I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia. | 105 |
| Kapil Dev | Apart from education, you need good health, and for that, you need to play sports. | 105 |
| Lou Gehrig | When you have a father and a mother who work all their lives so you can have an education and build your body - it's a blessing. | 105 |
| Nita Ambani | Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential. | 105 |
| Orson Scott Card | The education that prepared me was my general education classes, which I tried to avoid when I was a stupid undergraduate, but which gave me the foundation of general knowledge that makes a career as a writer possible. | 105 |
| Phylicia Rashad | We are told there is not enough money for education, but somehow there is enough money for people to raise billions of dollars to defeat somebody in an election? Oh! Okay! Does that make sense? | 105 |
| Phyllis Schlafly | Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions. | 105 |
| Robert Green Ingersoll | It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense. | 105 |
| Rose George | Because sanitation has so many effects across all aspects of development - it affects education, it affects health, it affects maternal mortality and infant mortality, it affects labor - it's all these things, so it becomes a political football. Nobody has full responsibility. | 105 |
| Sammy Davis, Jr. | What have I got? No looks, no money, no education. Just talent. | 105 |
| Solomon Ortiz | Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities. | 105 |
| Susan Cain | In a way, education by its nature favours the extrovert because you are taking kids and putting them into a big classroom, which is automatically going to be a high-stimulation environment. Probably the best way of teaching in general is one on one, but that's not something everyone can afford. | 105 |
| Two Chainz | I encourage everyone to pay attention to the issues that matter to you, from jobs and the economy, to education and our schools, to criminal justice reform. Whatever it is that you care about, make sure you use your voice. | 105 |
| Walter Annenberg | In the world today, a young lady who does not have a college education just is not educated. | 105 |
| William Julius Wilson | Certain people are just saying, 'Look, I'm a businessperson and I have to run a business effectively and I want people who are going to do the job, who have the training and the education and the personality traits - the soft skills.' | 105 |
| William Ralph Inge | The aim of education is the knowledge not of facts but of values. | 105 |
| Wilma Mankiller | I don't think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future. | 105 |
| Zhuangzi | Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education. | 105 |
| Kirsten Gillibrand | If we expect our children to thrive at our colleges and universities, and succeed in our economy once they graduate - first we must make quality, affordable early childhood education accessible to all. | 105 |
| Nimrat Kaur | Performing arts was something I was always part of. That was may be the only common thread that ran throughout my education, throughout my schooling years. But apart from that, there were no friends or no long term associations. That was the only thing I knew was with me wherever I went. | 105 |
| Parker Palmer | Even when life challenges us, it's a gift beyond all measure. | 105 |
| Philip Emeagwali | When I enrolled in college at age 19, I had a total of eight years of formal classroom education. As a result, I was not comfortable with formal lectures and receiving regular homework assignments. | 105 |
| Pranab Mukherjee | As Indians, we must of course learn from the past; but we must remain focused on the future. In my view, education is the true alchemy that can bring India its next golden age. | 105 |
| Sargent Shriver | Racism cannot be cured solely by attacking some of the results it produces, like discrimination in housing or in education. | 105 |
| Soledad O'Brien | There are thousands of inspirational stories waiting to be told about young women who yearn for a great education. They are stories of struggle and stories of success, and they will inspire others to take action and work to change lives. | 105 |
| Amanda Lindhout | It was a slow understanding that the lack of education in a country like Somalia creates these huge social problems. | 105 |
| Atal Bihari Vajpayee | Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education, health care, political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation. | 105 |
| Azim Premji | Inflation is taking up the poverty line, and poverty is not just economic but defined by way of health and education. | 105 |
| Christine Gregoire | Education exposes young people to a broader world, a world full of opportunity and hope. | 105 |
| Ernest Istook | Education begins at home and I applaud the parents who recognize that they - not someone else - must take responsibility to assure that their children are well educated. | 105 |
| Hans-Georg Gadamer | It was clear to me that the forms of consciousness of our inherited and acquired historical education - aesthetic consciousness and historical consciousness - presented alienated forms of our true historical being. | 105 |
| Ken Adam | The Berlin of the '20s formed the foundation of my future education... the Berlin of the UFA studios, of Fritz Lang, Lubitsch and Erich Pommer. The Berlin of the architects Gropius, Mendelsohn and Mies van der Rohe. The Berlin of the painters Max Libermann, Grosz, Otto Dix, Klee and Kandinsky. | 105 |
| Sarah Kay | At this point in my life - age 24 - I have chosen a fairly strange path that not many are walking. I am a professional spoken word poet who tours the world performing and teaching. I run an organization called Project VOICE dedicated to using this art form as an education and empowerment tool in schools and communities of all kinds. | 105 |
| Alan K. Simpson | An educated man is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style. | 105 |
| Edmund Barton | If it is the duty of the State to educate, it is the duty of the State also to bear the burden of education, namely, the taxation out of which education is provided. | 105 |
| Michael Nutter | What the mayors care about is, 'How can I get money to invest in the infrastructure in my city? How do we put people back to work, lower the unemployment rate, provide for job training programs? How do we make class sizes smaller and make investments in our children from an education standpoint?' | 105 |
| Ryan White | Because of the lack of education on AIDS, discrimination, fear, panic, and lies surrounded me. | 105 |
| Adam Braun | There are many challenges in the global education ecosystem: from top-down systemic issues in how educational services are organized and delivered, to bottom-up issues of curriculum effectiveness, accountability, and human resource allocation. | 105 |
| Arne Duncan | Teachers say their schools of education did not adequately prepare them for the classroom. They would have welcomed more mentoring and feedback in their early years. | 105 |
| Janet Napolitano | If American schooling is inadequate now, just imagine how much more obsolete it will be when today's kindergarten students graduate from high school in just 12 years. | 105 |
| Ric Keller | I am here to give the American people some straight talk about higher education. Some have said we might have cut financial aid for college students. The truth is we have expanded access to college for our neediest students through the record growth of the Pell grant program. | 105 |
| John Buchan | To live for a time close to great minds is the best kind of education. | 105 |
| Michael Gurian | If we want boys to succeed, we need to bring them back to education by making education relevant to them and bring in more service learning and vocational education. | 105 |
| Al McGuire | I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated. | 105 |
| Jerome Bruner | Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them. | 105 |
| Avery Brundage | The sportsman knows that a sport is a recreation, a game, an amusement and a pastime, but his eyes are fixed on a higher goal, on the most important thing in his life, which is his education or his vocation. | 105 |
| John H. Johnson | My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong; she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education. | 105 |
| Aldous Huxley | The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not. | 106 |
| George Santayana | The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas. | 106 |
| John Dewey | Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living. | 106 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man. | 106 |
| Malala Yousafzai | The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights. | 106 |
| B. F. Skinner | Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten. | 106 |
| Charles R. Swindoll | Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. | 106 |
| Herbert Hoover | Public health service should be as fully organized and as universally incorporated into our governmental system as is public education. The returns are a thousand fold in economic benefits, and infinitely more in reduction of suffering and promotion of human happiness. | 106 |
| Anatole France | An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't. | 106 |
| Barbara Boxer | I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system. | 106 |
| Carter G. Woodson | The mere imparting of information is not education. | 106 |
| David Rockefeller | I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education. In order to appreciate cultures of another nation, one needs to go there, know the people and mingle with the culture of that country. One way to do that, if one is lucky enough, is to buy things from those cultures. | 106 |
| Erin Gruwell | Education is such a noble profession, it's a wonderful way to serve. | 106 |
| Gerry Cooney | I retired when I was 30, with all my marbles and a few bucks. But a lot of guys leave boxing penniless with no skills. Men in their 30s and early 40s, old for boxing, young in life, but also old in the job market if you're just getting started with no education. These guys need someone in their corner. | 106 |
| James Thurber | It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers. | 106 |
| Jose Rizal | My countrymen, I have given proofs that I am one most anxious for liberties for our country, and I am still desirous of them. But I place as a prior condition the education of the people, that by means of instruction and industry our country may have an individuality of its own and make itself worthy of these liberties. | 106 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | I am positive that I would see the end of child labour around the world in my lifetime, as the poorest of the poor have realised that education is a tool that can empower them. | 106 |
| Nancy Pearcey | Homeschoolers are the ultimate do-it-yourselfers. They are self-motivated and self-directed, independent-minded and creative. They are not content to turn their education of their children over to the government. | 106 |
| Naomie Harris | When you go somewhere like Kenya and you see how the children don't have pencils and pens, and all of these things are considered luxuries, and what a privilege they see education as and how hungry they are to learn, I wanted to give my brother and sister long lectures. That definitely stayed with me. | 106 |
| Nicholas Negroponte | If you take any world problem, any issue on the planet, the solution to that problem certainly includes education. In education, the roadblock is the laptop. | 106 |
| Oswald Chambers | Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind. | 106 |
| Paulo Freire | Education must begin with the solution of the student-teacher contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students. | 106 |
| Russell Means | In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education. | 106 |
| William Bennett | All real education is the architecture of the soul. | 106 |
| Ahmed Zewail | Investing in science education and curiosity-driven research is investing in the future. | 106 |
| Aldo Leopold | Is education possibly a process of trading awareness for things of lesser worth? The goose who trades his is soon a pile of feathers. | 106 |
| Alexa Von Tobel | LearnVest provides women with the necessary tools and resources to manage their personal finances; its core mission, to positively contribute to society through education and, ultimately, the promotion of self-sufficient and financially aware women. | 106 |
| Alexandre Dumas | How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it. | 106 |
| Alice Waters | I really am at a place where I think we need to feed every child at school for free and feed them a real school lunch that's sustainable and nutritious and delicious. It needs to be part of the curriculum of the school in the same way that physical education was part of the curriculum, and all children participated. | 106 |
| Ed Markey | Although children are only 24 percent of the population, they're 100 percent of our future and we cannot afford to provide any child with a substandard education. | 106 |
| Eric Bana | I wanted to be a mechanic. When I was 14 I wanted to quit school and go work on my car. But my dad said Son, you shouldn't do that. You should stay in school until your education is finished, and when you're done, don't make your hobby your job. | 106 |
| Jeremy Corbyn | Obsession with the market seem to prevent ministers looking at the huge problem and all its ramifications in health, education and employment that come from the housing insecurity that too many face. | 106 |
| John Lubbock | A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn. | 106 |
| John W. Gardner | Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants. | 106 |
| Jon Meacham | Without education, we are weaker economically. Without economic power, we are weaker in terms of national security. No great military power has ever remained so without great economic power. | 106 |
| Pranab Mukherjee | Teaching was my transition from student life to working life. In those days, our system of education was a little different. The number of students in each class was huge. I think in political science general, which I taught, it was around 100. | 106 |
| Rick Santorum | The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility. And in fact, they force them, in many respects, to turn their children over to the public education system and wrest control from them and block them out of participation of that. That has to change or education will not improve in this country. | 106 |
| Scott Turow | Widespread public access to knowledge, like public education, is one of the pillars of our democracy, a guarantee that we can maintain a well-informed citizenry. | 106 |
| Sparky Anderson | I only had a high school education and believe me, I had to cheat to get that. | 106 |
| Bre Pettis | For me, when you put a MakerBot in a school, you add a manufacturing education to the environment where I think we can really empower the next generation to compete in the global economy. | 106 |
| Chetan Bhagat | In our education system, we are taught to munch figures and remember them for lifetime. But does it help? We are not taught how to make decisions. | 106 |
| Jennifer Granholm | To compete in a global economy, our students must continue their education beyond high school. To make this expectation a reality, we must give students the tools they need to succeed, including the opportunity to take a college entrance exam. | 106 |
| Jessye Norman | Growing up in Augusta in such a protected and loving community is something that I really enjoy talking about. I love talking about - even though I grew up, of course, in the time of segregated schools: Brown vs. Board of Education came along after I was already in first grade. | 106 |
| Mary Harris Jones | Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination. | 106 |
| Michael Enzi | We are looking for ways to decrease the dropout rate. I am pretty sure, if we eliminate career and technical education, we are going to increase the dropout rate. | 106 |
| Taslima Nasrin | I was born in a middle class Muslim family, in a small town called Myonenningh in a northern part of Bangladesh in 1962. My father is a qualified physician; my mother is a housewife. I have two elder brothers and one younger sister. All of them received a liberal education in schools and colleges. | 106 |
| Bob Taft | We must ensure our system of higher education offers world-class quality for a world-class economy. | 106 |
| Jan Brewer | We have over 500,000 illegal immigrants living in Arizona. And we simply cannot sustain it. It costs us a tremendous amount of money of course in health care, in education, and then, on top of it all, in incarceration. And the federal government doesn't reimburse us on any of these things. | 106 |
| Jane Byrne | Our universities and museums are respected around the country. | 106 |
| Julian Bond | As skills and energy became more of a demand, people who didn't have skills just got left behind, got shuttled to the side. Education didn't keep up with their promise. Education didn't prepare them for this new world. Jobs went overseas. | 106 |
| Mary Wortley Montagu | The ultimate end of your education was to make you a good wife. | 106 |
| Adam Braun | Global poverty is a complex web of interlinked problems. There is no one 'silver bullet' that will solve global inequality. Multiple contributing factors must be tackled in parallel. Yes, education alone is unlikely to lead to employment without economic reform to address the demand side in much of the developing world. | 106 |
| Julia Gillard | Through hard work and education, we can deliver a strong economy and opportunity for all. | 106 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. | 107 |
| Blaise Pascal | Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything. | 107 |
| Cesar Chavez | Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity? | 107 |
| Epictetus | To 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. | 107 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. | 107 |
| Robert E. Lee | The education of a man is never completed until he dies. | 107 |
| Robert Frost | Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence. | 107 |
| A. A. Milne | To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks. | 107 |
| Joseph Stalin | Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed. | 107 |
| Andrew Cuomo | I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools. | 107 |
| David McCullough | I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities. | 107 |
| Dean Kamen | I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life. | 107 |
| Derek Bok | Economists who have studied the relationship between education and economic growth confirm what common sense suggests: The number of college degrees is not nearly as important as how well students develop cognitive skills, such as critical thinking and problem-solving ability. | 107 |
| Desiderius Erasmus | When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes. | 107 |
| Emma Goldman | No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure. | 107 |
| Enrique Pena Nieto | Education reform has as its main purpose to make sure that the education delivered is of quality. | 107 |
| Eric Schmidt | I've never met a person who does not want a safer world, better medical care and education for their children, and peace with their neighbours. I just don't meet those people. What I meet, over and over again, as I travel around, is that the essential human condition is optimistic - in every one of these places. | 107 |
| Ezekiel Emanuel | Medical school education and post graduate education emphasize thoroughness. | 107 |
| Frederick the Great | An educated people can be easily governed. | 107 |
| Kay Redfield Jamison | There is no common standard for education about diagnosis. Distinguishing between bipolar depression and major depressive disorder, for example, can be difficult, and mistakes are common. Misdiagnosis can be lethal. Medications that work well for some forms of depression induce agitation in others. | 107 |
| Paulo Freire | Education is freedom. | 107 |
| Publilius Syrus | It is better to learn late than never. | 107 |
| Queen Rania of Jordan | We need another revolution in the Arab world. We need an education revolution. If there's one thing we need to focus on, it's redesigning our educational systems. | 107 |
| Satya Nadella | I think the combination of graduate education in a field like Computer Science and the opportunity to apply this in a work environment like Microsoft is what drove me. The impact these opportunities create can lead to work that has broad, worldwide impact. | 107 |
| Tallulah Bankhead | I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education. | 107 |
| Wendell Phillips | The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living. | 107 |
| Wendy Kopp | In the long run, we need to build a leadership force of people. We have a whole strategy around not only providing folks with the foundational experience during their two years with us, but also then accelerating their leadership in ways that is strategic for the broader education reform movement. | 107 |
| William Godwin | Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education. | 107 |
| Agnes de Mille | A good education is usually harmful to a dancer. A good calf is better than a good head. | 107 |
| Darell Hammond | Our education system is increasingly embracing a black-and-white way of thinking, in which 'learning' and 'play' are diametrically opposed. 'Learning' is the serious stuff that happens inside a classroom and can be measured via multiple choice questions and a No. 2 pencil. 'Play' is frivolous, fun, and worst of all, optional. | 107 |
| Edward Thorndike | Human education is concerned with certain changes in the intellects, characters and behavior of men, its problems being roughly included under these four topics: Aims, materials, means and methods. | 107 |
| G. M. Trevelyan | Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading. | 107 |
| Hugh Mackay | The question is, will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system, or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture? | 107 |
| Jane Fonda | If adolescent pregnancy prevention is to become a priority, then our strategy, as advocates, must contain two key elements: civic engagement and education. | 107 |
| Jeb Bush | We need to end the government monopoly in education by transferring power from bureaucracies and unions to families. The era of defining public education as allegiance to centralized school districts must end. | 107 |
| Kirsten Gillibrand | When women earn more, families are stronger, and children have better access to quality health care and education. | 107 |
| Michael Franti | During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come. | 107 |
| Clay Aiken | I went to school for special education. I always assumed when I had the opportunity I would love to try and help kids with disabilities. | 107 |
| Joe Lieberman | The promise of education reform can never be fulfilled without adequate funding, and by shortchanging our schools, President Bush is breaking his promise to our children. | 107 |
| Larry Niven | I'd repair our education system or replace it with something that works. | 107 |
| Jacques Barzun | The test and the use of man's education is that he finds pleasure in the exercise of his mind. | 107 |
| Adam Braun | It always surprises me when donors who operate successful businesses assume that just building a school structure means that a community now has access to education. When creating a business, does renting an office space now mean that you're producing goods, training staff and generating revenues? | 107 |
| Jesse Williams | We should all have the opportunity to at least get a basic education and feel that you are worthy of something in life. | 107 |
| Edmund Burke | To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. | 108 |
| Leo Buscaglia | The best students come from homes where education is revered: where there are books, and children see their parents reading them. | 108 |
| Kofi Annan | Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development. | 108 |
| Barbara Jordan | Education remains the key to both economic and political empowerment. | 108 |
| Barbara Mikulski | Community colleges are one of America's great social inventions a gateway to the future for first time students looking for an affordable college education, and for mid-career students looking to get ahead in the workplace. | 108 |
| Bobby Scott | While there are many obstacles that deter students from going to college, finances by no means should be the deciding factor. | 108 |
| Carter G. Woodson | The so-called modern education, with all its defects, however, does others so much more good than it does the Negro, because it has been worked out in conformity to the needs of those who have enslaved and oppressed weaker peoples. | 108 |
| Gael Garcia Bernal | In Mexico, theater is very underground, so if you're a theater actor it's very difficult to make a living. But it's also a very beautiful pathway to knowledge and to an open education. | 108 |
| Hugh Jackman | My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense. | 108 |
| Jane D. Hull | I have said it on several occasions, several times from this podium, that providing a quality education for our children is high on my priority list. I will not stop now. | 108 |
| Karl Kraus | Sex education is legitimate in that girls cannot be taught soon enough how children don't come into the world. | 108 |
| Ken Robinson | Now the problem with standardized tests is that it's based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors. And we can't, because human beings are very different from motorcars, and they have feelings about what they do and motivations in doing it, or not. | 108 |
| Lee Iacocca | Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen. | 108 |
| Muhammad Yunus | Access to quality education has enabled me to reach far beyond the Bangladeshi village I grew up in. | 108 |
| Oscar Hammerstein II | If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught. | 108 |
| Publilius Syrus | It is only the ignorant who despise education. | 108 |
| Sam Houston | The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government. | 108 |
| Thomas Friedman | Lord knows there's a lot of bad news in the world today to get you down, but there is one big thing happening that leaves me incredibly hopeful about the future, and that is the budding revolution in global online higher education. | 108 |
| Victoria Wood | In my day we didn't have sex education, we just picked up what we could off the television. | 108 |
| Wendy Davis | Let's make sure that we are working for age-appropriate sex education in our school system. | 108 |
| Aaron Swartz | Real education is about genuine understanding and the ability to figure things out on your own; not about making sure every 7th grader has memorized all the facts some bureaucrats have put in the 7th grade curriculum. | 108 |
| Ezra Koenig | My dad grew up in a working-class Jewish neighbourhood, and I got a scholarship from my dad's union to go to college. I went there to get an education, not as an extension of privilege. | 108 |
| Melinda Gates | My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education. | 108 |
| Rhys Ifans | I honed my passion for acting in theatre and education, and I think it's important not to belittle the child audience. | 108 |
| Rick Santorum | The Obama administration now has regulations that tells them that they can no longer promote marriage to these young girls. They can no longer promote marriage as a way of avoiding poverty and bad choices that they make in their life. They can no longer even teach abstinence education. They have to be neutral with respect to how people behave. | 108 |
| Afrojack | Maybe one day there will finally be an education for electronic music. | 108 |
| Bob Ehrlich | My capital budget maintains my commitment to the education of children, health of the Chesapeake Bay, and safety of all Maryland citizens. We will continue to focus on the five pillars of my Administration as we build today and look forward to the projects of the future. | 108 |
| Christine Gregoire | Education can lift individuals out of poverty and into rewarding careers. | 108 |
| Jim DeMint | Well, we lost a lot of our independence already. We are dependent on China for credit. We are dependent on Middle Eastern countries for energy supplies. And many Americans are dependent on the government for their income, health care, education of their children, food stamps. | 108 |
| Shannon Miller | It's amazing to me that they're cutting physical education programs in the school systems. | 108 |
| Richard Dreyfuss | When you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that. | 108 |
| Stockwell Day | If the Liberals' law is passed, will sex education in the schools, including elementary grades, include the same portrayals of sexual activity which presently exist in heterosexual instruction? Will there be the same presentation of homosexual activity? Of course there will. | 108 |
| Tony Buzan | Memory and creativity are essential to education, but if you teach memory incorrectly, it is a total waste of time, and it will inhibit learning. | 108 |
| Joe Baca | Head Start graduates are more likely to graduate from high school and less likely to need special education, repeat a grade, or commit crimes in adolescence. | 108 |
| C. S. Lewis | Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil. | 109 |
| Plato | Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue. | 109 |
| Bernie Sanders | Every working family in America knows how hard it is today to find affordable childcare or early childhood education. | 109 |
| Michel de Montaigne | I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly. | 109 |
| Aeschylus | It is always in season for old men to learn. | 109 |
| Al Green | I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world. | 109 |
| Anne Sullivan | The immediate future is going to be tragic for all of us unless we find a way of making the vast educational resources of this country serve the true purpose of education, truth and justice. | 109 |
| Bo Jackson | If you have four years to complete your college education, do it. | 109 |
| Bobby Scott | Unfortunately, the elimination of incentives such as parole, good time credits and funding for college courses, means that fewer inmates participate in and excel in literacy, education, treatment and other development programs. | 109 |
| Clayton Christensen | For 300 years, higher education was not disruptable because there was no technological core. | 109 |
| Eli Broad | Frankly, I'm not sure how far I would get if I attended public school today. It's not just that public schools aren't producing the results we want - it's that we're not giving them what they need to help students achieve at high levels. K-12 education in the United States is deeply antiquated. | 109 |
| Erin Gruwell | I believe that education is the greatest equalizer; thus, I will continue to fight to equalize the playing field in an educational atmosphere that is not always level! | 109 |
| Henry Adams | Nothing in education is so astonishing as the amount of ignorance it accumulates in the form of inert facts. | 109 |
| Nassim Nicholas Taleb | Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish college. Too much emphasis is placed on formal education - I told my children not to worry about their grades but to enjoy learning. | 109 |
| Paul Farmer | You can't have public health without working with the public sector. You can't have public education without working with the public sector in education. | 109 |
| Sachin Tendulkar | There are over 200 million illiterate women in India. This low literacy negatively impacts not just their lives but also their families' and the country's economic development. A girl's lack of education also has a negative impact on the health and well-being of her children. | 109 |
| Steve Irwin | I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message. | 109 |
| Thomas Friedman | There's no question that a great teacher can make a huge difference in a student's achievement, and we need to recruit, train and reward more such teachers. But here's what some new studies are also showing: We need better parents. Parents more focused on their children's education can also make a huge difference in a student's achievement. | 109 |
| Will Durant | Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. | 109 |
| William Glasser | This is at the heart of all good education, where the teacher asks students to think and engages them in encouraging dialogues, constantly checking for understanding and growth. | 109 |
| Bill Frist | Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country. | 109 |
| Joseph Brodsky | It is well to read everything of something, and something of everything. | 109 |
| Mario Testino | Charm, I think, is education, really, no? I was educated to be nice to everybody. If you want to be rude and mean, I'm sure your life isn't that nice. | 109 |
| Robert M. Hutchins | A liberal education... frees a man from the prison-house of his class, race, time, place, background, family and even his nation. | 109 |
| Sri Mulyani Indrawati | Women are emerging as a major force for change. Countries that have invested in girls' education and removed legal barriers that prevent women from achieving their potential are now seeing the benefits. | 109 |
| Christine Gregoire | One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so. | 109 |
| Anita Brookner | I was a teacher most of my life, which I loved. I had a very happy working life, and when I retired, I thought I must do something, and I've always read a lot of fiction - you learn so much from fiction. My sentimental education came mostly from fiction, I should say, so I thought I'd try. | 109 |
| Joshua Reynolds | Few have been taught to any purpose who have not been their own teachers. | 109 |
| Roger Ascham | Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty. | 109 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | A 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. | 110 |
| John Dewey | The belief that all genuine education comes about through experience does not mean that all experiences are genuinely or equally educative. | 110 |
| Angela Davis | Poor people, people of color - especially are much more likely to be found in prison than in institutions of higher education. | 110 |
| Maria Montessori | We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. | 110 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. | The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts, but learning how to make facts live. | 110 |
| Alan Greenspan | To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid foundation in the basics of education - literacy, both verbal and numerical, and communication skills. | 110 |
| Anne Sullivan | Education in the light of present-day knowledge and need calls for some spirited and creative innovations both in the substance and the purpose of current pedagogy. | 110 |
| Bayard Rustin | We demand that segregation be ended in every school district in the year 1963! We demand that we have effective civil rights legislation - no compromise, no filibuster - and that include public accommodations, decent housing, integrated education, FEPC and the right to vote. | 110 |
| Bette Midler | Education is my next big thing. When music and art were taken out of the schools, I went berserk! | 110 |
| Derek Bok | The most obvious purpose of college education is to help students acquire information and knowledge by acquainting them with facts, theories, generalizations, principles, and the like. This purpose scarcely requires justification. | 110 |
| Desiderius Erasmus | Your library is your paradise. | 110 |
| Frederic Bastiat | And what is liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, or labor, or trade? | 110 |
| Horace Mann | A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated. | 110 |
| James A. Garfield | Next in importance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither freedom nor justice can be permanently maintained. | 110 |
| Kareena Kapoor Khan | Be it a village or a city, education is very important, and it always comes into you. | 110 |
| Karl Kraus | Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots. | 110 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | Education must lead us from the irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgment. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order. Therefore, let us guide our students over the road of discipline from materials, through function, to creative work. | 110 |
| Michael Gove | Unfortunately, the real achievements of children on the ground became debased and devalued because Labor education secretaries sounded like Soviet commissars praising the tractor production figures when we know that those exams were not the rock-solid measures of achievement that children deserve. | 110 |
| Naveen Jain | Education should not be about building more schools and maintaining a system that dates back to the Industrial Revolution. We can achieve so much more, at unmatched scale with software and interactive learning. | 110 |
| Nicholas Kristof | The best escalator to opportunity in America is education. | 110 |
| Steve Irwin | Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing. | 110 |
| Tallulah Bankhead | Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds. | 110 |
| Thabo Mbeki | I think that probably the most important thing about our education was that it taught us to question even those things we thought we knew. To say you've got to inquire, you've got to be testing your knowledge all the time in order to be more effective in what you're doing. | 110 |
| Adam Weishaupt | It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination. | 110 |
| Alexa Von Tobel | Without any formal personal finance education or trustworthy resources to tell them otherwise, the majority of people in the 18-to-24-year-old age bracket do not know how to use credit effectively, tackle debt or make wise decisions when it comes to spending. | 110 |
| Donella Meadows | Social services, not wealth per se, seem to be the key to lower birth rates. The Chinese, although among the poorest peoples of the world, have brought their fertility rate down to 2.4, partly by social coercion, but mostly by broadly available education, health care and family planning. | 110 |
| Ja Rule | Jail is definitely not cool. Education is. | 110 |
| Azim Premji | People have to take control of their own lives. Education is key because it also raises other social indicators like healthcare. | 110 |
| George Savile | Education is what remains when we have forgotten all that we have been taught. | 110 |
| Muriel Spark | To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion. | 110 |
| Jan Koum | There were a lot of negatives, of course, but there were positives to living a life unfettered by possessions. It gave us the chance to focus on education, which was very important in the Soviet Union. | 110 |
| Isaac Asimov | Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is. | 111 |
| Robert Frost | Education doesn't change life much. It just lifts trouble to a higher plane of regard. | 111 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level. | 111 |
| Anthony J. D'Angelo | The only real failure in life is one not learned from. | 111 |
| Christopher Dodd | Pell Grants are, and have been, critically important tools in making higher education a possibility for lower- and middle-income students. | 111 |
| Geoffrey Canada | Many schools today are sacrificing social studies, the arts and physical education so children can cover basic subjects like math, English and science. | 111 |
| Grover Norquist | Conservatives should insist that defense spending be examined with the same seriousness that we demand in examining the books of those government agencies that spend taxpayer money in the name of welfare, the environment, or education. | 111 |
| Horace Mann | Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge. | 111 |
| Ken Robinson | The answer is not to standardize education, but to personalize and customize it to the needs of each child and community. There is no alternative. There never was. | 111 |
| Naveen Jain | Just think of the opportunities we can unlock by making education as addictive as a video game. This type of experiential, addictive learning improves decision-making skills and increases the processing speed and spatial skills of the brain. When was the last time your child asked for help with a video game? | 111 |
| Paramahansa Yogananda | The ideal of an all-sided education for youth had always been close to my heart. I saw clearly the arid results of ordinary instruction, aimed only at the development of body and intellect. | 111 |
| Paulo Freire | It is not systematic education which somehow molds society, but, on the contrary, society which, according to its particular structure, shapes education in relation to the ends and interests of those who control the power in that society. | 111 |
| William Glasser | Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced. | 111 |
| Alan Bennett | I don't believe in private education. | 111 |
| Allan Bloom | Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion. | 111 |
| Sargent Shriver | As far as I was concerned, the Depression was an ill wind that blew some good. If it hadn't occurred, my parents would have given me my college education. As it was, I had to scrabble for it. | 111 |
| Allyson Felix | I majored in elementary education, and I have a passion for kids. | 111 |
| Ann Bancroft | Getting through high school and college was one of my greatest achievements. | 111 |
| Mary Astell | Ignorance and a narrow education lay the foundation of vice, and imitation and custom rear it up. | 111 |
| Albert Einstein | Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. | 112 |
| Peter Drucker | When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course. | 112 |
| Virginia Woolf | If we help an educated man's daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war? - not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers? | 112 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in. | 112 |
| James A. Baldwin | Education is indoctrination if you're white - subjugation if you're black. | 112 |
| Bill O'Reilly | As a former high school teacher and a student in a class of 60 urchins at St. Brigid's grammar school, I know that education is all about discipline and motivation. Disadvantaged students need extra attention, a stable school environment, and enough teacher creativity to stimulate their imaginations. Those things are not expensive. | 112 |
| Buzz Aldrin | There's a need for accepting responsibility - for a person's life and making choices that are not just ones for immediate short-term comfort. You need to make an investment, and the investment is in health and education. | 112 |
| E. O. Wilson | The education of women is the best way to save the environment. | 112 |
| Edsger Dijkstra | Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that's what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. | 112 |
| Frank Zappa | If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library. | 112 |
| Frans de Waal | Popular culture bombards us with examples of animals being humanized for all sorts of purposes, ranging from education to entertainment to satire to propaganda. Walt Disney, for example, made us forget that Mickey is a mouse, and Donald a duck. George Orwell laid a cover of human societal ills over a population of livestock. | 112 |
| Jesse Ventura | Disabled people need more invested in their education, housing, job training, transportation, assistive technology, and independent-living facilities. Governments earn back this investment - and more - by making people with disabilities economically productive citizens. | 112 |
| Liam Neeson | For every successful actor or actress, there are countless numbers who don't make it. The name of the game is rejection. You go to an audition and you're told you're too tall or you're too Irish or your nose is not quite right. You're rejected for your education, you're rejected for this or that and it's really tough. | 112 |
| Nawal El Saadawi | Education should be totally secular. I am not telling people not to believe in God, but it should be a personal matter which should be done at home. | 112 |
| Thabo Mbeki | I don't imagine Heads of Government would ever be able to say I'm not an economist therefore I can't take decisions on matters of the economy; I'm not a soldier I can't take decisions on matters of defence; I'm not an educationist so I can't take decisions about education. | 112 |
| Evander Holyfield | I came up poor. My mother only had a fourth-grade education. My dad didn't have any education at all. But they were very structured. They worked hard. You know, they didn't complain. They didn't murmur. And they believe in the Christ. | 112 |
| Galileo Galilei | If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics. | 113 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | Until 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. | 113 |
| Malala Yousafzai | All I want is an education, and I am afraid of no one. | 113 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men. | 113 |
| Milton Friedman | Governments never learn. Only people learn. | 113 |
| Abu Bakr | If an ignorant person is attracted by the things of the world, that is bad. But if a learned person is thus attracted, it is worse. | 113 |
| Brigham Young | Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life. | 113 |
| Charles B. Rangel | A quality education grants us the ability to fight the war on ignorance and poverty. | 113 |
| Dan Gable | I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling. | 113 |
| Erich Fromm | Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age? | 113 |
| Ken Robinson | The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education. | 113 |
| Mitt Romney | You can't continue to have higher education tuition grow at a multiple of the rate of inflation. | 113 |
| Naveen Jain | I started off with a company, InfoSpace, with my own funding. The company was listed among the most successful companies and I went on to start Intelius and Moon Express. Now, I focus my time on using the skills of an entrepreneur to solve many of the grand challenges facing us in the areas of education, healthcare, clean water and energy. | 113 |
| Wendell Willkie | Education is the mother of leadership. | 113 |
| Charlie Trotter | I wasn't using college as a stepping stone to law school or some other career. I just wanted a liberal-arts education. | 113 |
| John Malkovich | If I had spent as much time in the weight room as I did designing football uniforms, I probably would have had a free college education. | 113 |
| Madeleine M. Kunin | Early childhood education begins early, even before birth. | 113 |
| Michelle Bachelet | One of the factors a country's economy depends on is human capital. If you don't provide women with adequate access to healthcare, education and employment, you lose at least half of your potential. So, gender equality and women's empowerment bring huge economic benefits. | 113 |
| Bob Riley | The amount of money we spend on education is important, but not nearly as important as how the money is spent. | 113 |
| Maximillian Degenerez | The brainy class is made up of individuals who think for themselves and beyond formal education are continuous learners who tend to be self-taught. | 113 |
| Bertrand Russell | We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought. | 114 |
| Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | Education is the art of making man ethical. | 114 |
| Malala Yousafzai | If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education. | 114 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. | It seems to me that at this time we need education in the obvious more than investigation of the obscure. | 114 |
| Anatole France | Nine tenths of education is encouragement. | 114 |
| Brad Henry | No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy. | 114 |
| Gary Johnson | All I suggest is to make K-12 like higher education. Higher education in the United States is the best in the world because these institutions compete with each other for your tuition dollar. Let's just bring competition to public education. | 114 |
| Havelock Ellis | Education, whatever else it should or should not be, must be an inoculation against the poisons of life and an adequate equipment in knowledge and skill for meeting the chances of life. | 114 |
| Henry Adams | Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education. | 114 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | I have been very strongly advocating that poverty must not be used as an excuse to continue child labour. It perpetuates poverty. If children are deprived of education, they remain poor. | 114 |
| Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel | Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher. | 114 |
| Lana Del Rey | I didn't live at school, I lived where I could and studied what I enjoyed studying. I took what I wanted from that education but was making my first record at the same time. I don't know anyone from school. I was just leading a different life. I was really interested in writing and other things. | 114 |
| Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | True education is concerned not only with practical goals but also with values. Our aims assure us of our material life, our values make possible our spiritual life. | 114 |
| William Jennings Bryan | If we have to give up either religion or education, we should give up education. | 114 |
| Hosea Ballou | Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character. | 114 |
| Jacqueline Novogratz | I believe the government should ensure all children are provided with a good education. | 114 |
| John W. Gardner | The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else. | 114 |
| Tryon Edwards | The great end of education is to discipline rather than to furnish the mind; to train it to the use of its own powers, rather than fill it with the accumulation of others. | 114 |
| James Nesbitt | I went to India with UNICEF in connection with Manchester United to raise money for children's education. | 114 |
| Angela Merkel | The willingness to learn new skills is very high. | 115 |
| Arlen Specter | When the students are occupied, they're not juvenile delinquents. I believe that education is a capital investment. | 115 |
| Daymond John | I think African Americans are resilient and hustlers by nature. I think they need to understand that you can take that hustle to the boardroom, but it has to be an education process. | 115 |
| Elizabeth Warren | A good education is a foundation for a better future. | 115 |
| Emmanuel Jal | I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan. | 115 |
| H. G. Wells | Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. | 115 |
| Matthew Henry | Men of polite learning and a liberal education. | 115 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | We pay a price when we deprive children of the exposure to the values, principles, and education they need to make them good citizens. | 115 |
| Annie Dillard | I would like to learn, or remember, how to live. | 115 |
| Jet Li | My wife wanted my children to have some Chinese culture and education. She believes the children need to learn two languages and two cultures. | 115 |
| Jonathan Sacks | Jews know this in their bones. Our community could not exist for a day without its volunteers. They are the lifeblood of our organizations, whether they involve welfare, youth, education, care of the sick and elderly, or even protection against violence and abuse. | 115 |
| Madeleine M. Kunin | Investment in early education is not a Liberal or Conservative idea. Nor should it be decided along party lines. | 115 |
| Pratibha Patil | I believe economic growth should translate into the happiness and progress of all. Along with it, there should be development of art and culture, literature and education, science and technology. We have to see how to harness the many resources of India for achieving common good and for inclusive growth. | 115 |
| Adora Svitak | Success on the front of women's rights will look like a world not only with obvious advances - where no girl is denied access to education, for instance - but also one with more subtle changes in how we regard gender and gender stereotypes. | 115 |
| Albert Einstein | Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. | 116 |
| Carl Sagan | I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students. | 116 |
| Richard Dawkins | Segregation has no place in the education system. | 116 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | A system of education is not one thing, nor does it have a single definite object, nor is it a mere matter of schools. Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls, which molds and develops men. | 116 |
| Michael Jackson | The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work. | 116 |
| Al Pacino | My dad was in the army. World War II. He got his college education from the army. After World War II he became an insurance salesman. Really, I didn't know my dad very well. He and my mother split up after the war. I was raised by my maternal grandmother and grandfather, and by my mother. | 116 |
| Arlen Specter | Strong advocacy for education, health care and worker safety will be indispensable if they are to get their fair share of President Bush's austere budget for the next fiscal year. | 116 |
| Carter G. Woodson | This assumption of Negro leadership in the ghetto, then, must not be confined to matters of religion, education, and social uplift; it must deal with such fundamental forces in life as make these things possible. | 116 |
| Daisaku Ikeda | Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific. | 116 |
| Dylan Thomas | My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out. | 116 |
| Louis L'Amour | No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process. | 116 |
| William Glasser | If we had in this room a hundred teachers, good teachers from good schools, and asked them to define the word education, there would be very little general agreement. | 116 |
| James Hillman | Everything that everyone is afraid of has already happened: The fragility of capitalism, which we don't want to admit; the loss of the empire of the United States; and American exceptionalism. In fact, American exceptionalism is that we are exceptionally backward in about fifteen different categories, from education to infrastructure. | 116 |
| Maeve Binchy | I have been luckier than anyone I know or even heard of. I had a very happy childhood, a good education, I enjoyed working as a teacher, journalist and author. I have loved a wonderful man for over 33 years, and I believe he loves me, too. | 116 |
| Helen Keller | The highest result of education is tolerance. | 117 |
| George W. Bush | Only a liberal senator from Massachusetts would say that a 49 percent increase in funding for education was not enough. | 117 |
| Jean-Jacques Rousseau | We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. | 117 |
| Malala Yousafzai | I don't know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it's the right of every human being. | 117 |
| Abraham Maslow | Education can become a self-fulfilling activity, liberating in and of itself. | 117 |
| Jonathan Swift | Books, the children of the brain. | 117 |
| Arthur Ashe | We must believe in the power of education. We must respect just laws. We must love ourselves, our old and or young, our women as well as our men. | 117 |
| Caroline Kennedy | To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us. | 117 |
| Charles Kettering | An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously. | 117 |
| Peter Singer | Without in any way minimising the economic and psychological blow that people experience when they lose their jobs, the unemployed in affluent countries still have a safety net, in the form of social security payments, and usually free healthcare and free education for their children. They also have sanitation and safe drinking water. | 117 |
| Plutarch | The very spring and root of honesty and virtue lie in good education. | 117 |
| Sebastian Thrun | We need to make education so much fun that students can't help but learn. | 117 |
| Alexander Hamilton | Learn to think continentally. | 118 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. | 118 |
| Elizabeth Cady Stanton | To throw obstacles in the way of a complete education is like putting out the eyes. | 118 |
| Al Sharpton | There's no reason why children in inner cities or rural areas do not receive the same quality education or opportunities as those in suburbs or wealthy neighborhoods. If we truly believe in giving all citizens a chance to pursue happiness and pursue their goals, then we cannot continue to marginalize entire groups of people. | 118 |
| Cory Booker | You should be able to afford health care for your family. You should be able to retire with dignity and respect. And you should be able to give your children the kind of education that allows them to dream even bigger, go even farther and accomplish even more than you could ever imagine. | 118 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | Today it is time for every child to have a right to life, right to freedom, right to health, right to education, safety, the right to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace. | 118 |
| Mary J. Blige | I wish I had known that education is the key. That knowledge is power. Now I pick up books and watch educational shows with my husband. I'm seeing how knowledge can elevate you. | 118 |
| Will Durant | Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. | 118 |
| William Glasser | To counter the avoidance of intellectual challenge and responsibility, we must reduce the domination of certainty in education. | 118 |
| Thomas Jefferson | Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government. | 119 |
| Bertrand Russell | Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education. | 119 |
| Jim Rohn | If someone is going down the wrong road, he doesn't need motivation to speed him up. What he needs is education to turn him around. | 119 |
| Noam Chomsky | Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way. | 119 |
| Maria Montessori | Observation, very general and wide-spread, has shown that small children are endowed with a special psychic nature. This shows us a new way of imparting education! | 119 |
| Camille Paglia | Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys. | 119 |
| Charles B. Rangel | I am a firm believer that upon release, ex-offenders should be afforded a second chance to become productive citizens by providing rehabilitation and education that will help them join the workforce. | 119 |
| Horace Mann | Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year. | 119 |
| Kailash Satyarthi | I call for a march from exploitation to education, from poverty to shared prosperity, a march from slavery to liberty, and a march from violence to peace. | 119 |
| Bill Rancic | The American Dream is still alive out there, and hard work will get you there. You don't necessarily need to have an Ivy League education or to have millions of dollars startup money. It can be done with an idea, hard work and determination. | 119 |
| Michael Morpurgo | A lot of children, like I did, move away from words because of the fear - which is something you have to take out of education: the fear of worrying about what marks you'll get, detention, worrying about letting people down, your parents, teachers. | 119 |
| George Lucas | 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. | 120 |
| Giacomo Casanova | Heart and head are the constituent parts of character; temperament has almost nothing to do with it, and, therefore, character is dependent upon education, and is susceptible of being corrected and improved. | 120 |
| Bill Vaughan | Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college. | 120 |
| Oscar Wilde | Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught. | 121 |
| Booker T. Washington | At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence. | 121 |
| Anne Sullivan | I need a teacher quite as much as Helen. I know the education of this child will be the distinguishing event of my life, if I have the brains and perseverance to accomplish it. | 121 |
| H. G. Wells | History is a race between education and catastrophe. | 121 |
| Madonna Ciccone | I hope that I inspire women to believe in themselves, no matter where they come from; no matter what education they have; what particular background they originate from. | 121 |
| Naveen Jain | As a child I experienced firsthand the severe effects of poverty and illiteracy, especially upon women and children. My parents taught me the importance of education and that it was a key to improving an individual's life. | 121 |
| Wendell Phillips | Responsibility educates. | 121 |
| Edmund Burke | Education is the cheap defense of nations. | 122 |
| Jim Rohn | Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. | 122 |
| Malcolm X | You can't legislate good will - that comes through education. | 122 |
| Napoleon Hill | Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought. | 122 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Education is the development of power and ideal. | 122 |
| Will Rogers | The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living. | 122 |
| Aleister Crowley | To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter. | 122 |
| Dennis Miller | The American education system couldn't be more badly directed or poorly funded if the Secretary of Education were Ed Wood. | 122 |
| Ezra Pound | Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing, the rest is mere sheep-herding. | 122 |
| Sydney J. Harris | The primary purpose of a liberal education is to make one's mind a pleasant place in which to spend one's leisure. | 122 |
| Jane Fonda | Our youth deserve the opportunity to complete their high school and college education, free of early parenthood. Their future children deserve the opportunity to grow up in financially and emotionally stable homes. Our communities benefit from healthy, productive, well-prepared young people. | 122 |
| Stephen King | What charitable 1 percenters can't do is assume responsibility - America's national responsibilities: the care of its sick and its poor, the education of its young, the repair of its failing infrastructure, the repayment of its staggering war debts. | 123 |
| Horace Mann | Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity. | 123 |
| Norman Cousins | The main failure of education is that it has not prepared people to comprehend matters concerning human destiny. | 123 |
| Sandra Day O'Connor | I had become increasingly concerned in recent years about the lack of civics education in our nation's schools. In recent years, the schools have stopped teaching it. And it's unfortunate. | 123 |
| Francis Bacon | Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience. | 124 |
| Robert Louis Stevenson | Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health. | 124 |
| Benedict Cumberbatch | I'm a Prince of Wales Trust ambassador, so I'm all about giving youth an education, a voice and a chance to not take the wrong road. | 124 |
| John Madden | I'd like to work with kids in special education - younger kids. | 124 |
| Naveen Jain | I've been an entrepreneur all my life, and my recent focus is on finding entrepreneurial solutions to address global challenges in healthcare and education. | 124 |
| Will Durant | Education is the transmission of civilization. | 124 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people. | 125 |
| Alexander Pope | Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined. | 125 |
| Vladimir Putin | My notion of the KGB came from romantic spy stories. I was a pure and utterly successful product of Soviet patriotic education. | 126 |
| Al Gore | I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever. | 126 |
| Jean de la Bruyere | The regeneration of society is the regeneration of society by individual education. | 126 |
| Jeff Foxworthy | You may be a redneck if... you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education. | 126 |
| Vint Cerf | One thing we know for sure is that the Web is a collaborative medium unlike any we've ever had before. We see people working together, playing together, interacting in social settings using these media. We hope that will emerge as the new tool for education. | 126 |
| Amy Chua | China is doing lots of things right. It's investing in education and R&D, it's opening up, it's more cosmopolitan than it's ever been. I think it's very likely that China will continue to explode economically and certainly become a superpower. | 126 |
| Eleanor Roosevelt | The giving of love is an education in itself. | 201 |
| Bob Marley | I no have education. I have inspiration. If I was educated, I would be a damn fool. | 201 |
| William James | The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one. | 201 |
| Heinrich Heine | If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world. | 201 |
| Muhammad Yunus | I was born in 1940 in Hathazari, Chittagong, which is now part of Bangladesh. Education was always important to my parents, and with what little we had, they were able to provide an education for their children. | 201 |
| Walter Scott | All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education. | 201 |
| Jeb Bush | Public education must be viewed from the lens of providing each child with the learning environment that best meets his or her needs. If we can send a low-income child to a parochial school, knowing that his odds of attending college will increase as a result, then that should be our mission. | 201 |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | 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. | 202 |
| Malcolm X | Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world. | 202 |
| Ambrose Bierce | Learning, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious. | 202 |
| Benedict Cumberbatch | My mum and dad had worked incredibly hard to afford me an education. | 202 |
| Bryant H. McGill | Education should prepare our minds to use its own powers of reason and conception rather than filling it with the accumulated misconceptions of the past. | 202 |
| Charles B. Rangel | Since most American students cannot simply pay their full tuition out of pocket, financing a college education often takes the form of loans, both private and from the government. | 202 |
| Paul Ryan | We must promote upward mobility, starting with solutions that speak to our broken education system, broken immigration policy, and broken safety-net programs that foster dependency instead of helping people get back on their feet. | 202 |
| Richard Simmons | When you gather up all the balls of life that you try to juggle, it is a very difficult thing to try to focus in on taking good care of yourself. But that's why God invented me - so I can come and teach and preach and make people laugh and give them some education so they can start liking themselves better. | 202 |
| Steve Wozniak | I have always respected education, which is why I actually went back secretly and taught school for eight years. | 202 |
| John Locke | Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him. | 203 |
| Robert Frost | Education is hanging around until you've caught on. | 203 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Education and work are the levers to uplift a people. | 203 |
| Charles B. Rangel | As a high school dropout, I understand the value of education: A second chance at obtaining my high school diploma through the G.I. Bill led me to attend college and law school and allowed me the opportunity to serve in Congress. | 203 |
| Walt Disney | I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained. | 204 |
| Benjamin Disraeli | We cannot learn men from books. | 204 |
| Richard Dawkins | I do sometimes accuse people of ignorance, but that is not intended to be an insult. I'm ignorant of lots of things. Ignorance is something that can be remedied by education. | 204 |
| James A. Baldwin | The 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. | 204 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Countries with higher levels of gender equality have higher economic growth. Companies with more women on their boards have higher returns. Peace agreements that include women are more successful. Parliaments with more women take up a wider range of issues - including health, education, anti-discrimination, and child support. | 204 |
| Joseph Addison | What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul. | 204 |
| Mitt Romney | Education is the investment our generation makes in the future. | 204 |
| Zaha Hadid | Education, housing and hospitals are the most important things for society. | 204 |
| H. G. Wells | We are living in 1937, and our universities, I suggest, are not half-way out of the fifteenth century. We have made hardly any changes in our conception of university organization, education, graduation, for a century - for several centuries. | 205 |
| Jonathan Sacks | To defend a country you need an army, but to defend a civilization you need education. | 205 |
| Will Smith | Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life. | 206 |
| Maya Angelou | 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. | 207 |
| Desmond Tutu | It is our moral obligation to give every child the very best education possible. | 207 |
| Jean-Jacques Rousseau | 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. | 207 |
| Michelle Obama | See, that's why Barack's running: to end the war in Iraq responsibly - to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American - and to make sure that every child in this nation has a world-class education all the way from preschool to college. | 207 |
| Robert Kennedy | Desegregation of schools does not automatically transform them into better schools. It is only a step. The larger goal is to see that the education of our youth is not merely desegregated, but that it is excellent. | 207 |
| Tom Hiddleston | Since my education, I've done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians - certainly when I was there - went to Cambridge. I don't know whether it's the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge. | 207 |
| John F. Kennedy | Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource. | 208 |
| Arthur Schopenhauer | I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage. | 208 |
| Ban Ki-moon | True security is based on people's welfare - on a thriving economy, on strong public health and education programmes, and on fundamental respect for our common humanity. Development, peace, disarmament, reconciliation and justice are not separate from security; they help to underpin it. | 208 |
| Bryant H. McGill | The supreme lesson of any education should be to think for yourself and to be yourself; absent this attainment, education creates dangerous, stupefying conformity. | 208 |
| Helen Fisher | Women like signs of money and education - things that indicate that not only is this guy going to have some resources, but he's also willing to share them. | 208 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | Education is what you learn after you leave school. | 208 |
| Hillary Clinton | Let's not leave an educational vacuum to be filled by religious extremists who go to families who have no other option and offer meals, housing and some form of education. If we are going to combat extremism then we must educate those very same children. | 209 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master. | 209 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them. | 209 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | I am a part of everything that I have read. | 210 |
| Charles Caleb Colton | He who studies books alone will know how things ought to be, and he who studies men will know how they are. | 210 |
| George Lucas | The secret to the movie business, or any business, is to get a good education in a subject besides film - whether it's history, psychology, economics, or architecture - so you have something to make a movie about. All the skill in the world isn't going to help you unless you have something to say. | 210 |
| Gustave Flaubert | Read in order to live. | 210 |
| Robert H. Schuller | I was never close to Jerry Falwell because he had his ministry, I had mine. And we came from different theological training and from a different psychological education. | 210 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools - intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it - this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life. | 211 |
| Charles Kuralt | A country so rich that it can send people to the moon still has hundreds of thousands of its citizens who can't read. That's terribly troubling to me. | 211 |
| Priyanka Chopra | Education has always been very important to me. It means you don't have to depend on anyone else. | 211 |
| John F. Kennedy | The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth. | 212 |
| Plato | The most important part of education is proper training in the nursery. | 212 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence. | 212 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men. The problem of education, then, among Negroes must first of all deal with the Talented Tenth; it is the problem of developing the Best of this race that they may guide the Mass away from the contamination and death of the Worst, in their own and other races. | 212 |
| Jackie Chan | I give the children education. | 212 |
| William J. Clinton | In the new economy, information, education, and motivation are everything. | 212 |
| Aristotle | Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity. | 213 |

The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God. | 218 |

| Barack Obama | Our higher education system is one of the things that makes America exceptional. There's no place else that has the assets we do when it comes to higher education. People from all over the world aspire to come here and study here. And that is a good thing. | 302 |
| Bill Cosby | Brown versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem. | 302 |
