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.
Noam Chomsky
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
John F. Kennedy
Sex education has to do with what’s in people’s head.
Donna Shalala
For-profit higher education is today a booming industry, feeding on the student loans handed out to the desperate.
Thomas Frank
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.
H. G. Wells
The purpose of Compulsory Education is to deprive the common people of their commonsense.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
A one-size-fits-all lecture is not the way to go about education.
Sal Khan
I owe the little formal education I got to my drama teacher, Mr. Pickett, who got us to read Shakespeare, Moliere, and other classics.
Dennis Quaid
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.
Bill Bennett
During that year at Harvard learning with Carl Steinitz, I had the feeling that I was drinking knowledge out of a fire hose. I learned more in that year than I had learned in the previous ten years of my education.
Jack Dangermond
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.
Melinda Gates
I think that’s something that all mothers have to deal with, especially single mothers. We work, and we have to leave the kids behind. And I think that’s one of the reasons that we, not only as women but as families, we have to advocate for early childhood education for all of our children.
Dolores Huerta
Rewards and punishments are the lowest form of education.
Zhuangzi
Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.
Jim Rohn
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.
Andy Andrews
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.
Lou Gehrig
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.
Muriel Spark
Most actions derive not from your own initiative but from your family circumstances, your education, your calling, and so on. You must therefore give up a little time to performing actions which derive from yourself alone. They need not be important; quite insignificant actions fulfill the same purpose.
Rudolf Steiner
From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.
Dick Cheney
I enjoyed physical education and lunch time. The social aspect of school was great, but as soon as I left school, I wanted to get out there and race. I couldn’t sit still for long.
Daniel Ricciardo
A college education shows a man how little other people know.
Thomas Chandler Haliburton
Ordinary men are given the authority of the priesthood. Worthiness and willingness – not experience, expertise, or education – are the qualifications for priesthood ordination.
David A. Bednar
Providing a quality education for children starts before they even arrive at school.
Alex Padilla
I’ve never listed my education degree as why people should vote for me. I think the average person is thinking more about what I’ve accomplished in my professional career and what I’ve accomplished in my career as a legislator.
Thom Tillis
My mother is a professor of early childhood education. When I was two she would say she knew I was going to be an actor.
Matt Damon
All over the world, independent and strong civil society – NGOs, faith leaders, and other community advocates – help governments solve problems and better serve their people better by shining a light on the issues that matter most – like education standards, access to healthcare, the rule of law, and economic opportunity.
Ben Rhodes
Connectivity enables transparency for better government, education, and health.
Bill Gates
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.
Edward Thorndike
In America we have big issues with education – in impoverished communities especially. I work with Teach For All, and so we’re encouraging more people to get into teaching.
John Legend
Every parent wants to do what’s best for their child. Whatever I can afford, I’m going to get my kid the best education I can get.
Michael Moore
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.
Paul Farmer
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.
Horace Mann
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.
Bill Rancic
If I had learned education I would not have had time to learn anything else.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
Education is everything – education is your power, education is your way in life for whatever you want to do.
Ciara
Free education for all – whilst it is a desirable notion, in South Africa it will simply not be affordable.
Cyril Ramaphosa
‘Make in India’ is great, but ‘Make It Happen in India’ is even greater. Make It Happen in India is more than manufacturing. It’s about training, about education, about societal development and automation and engineering.
Joe Kaeser
If you care about potholes, you have to vote. If you care about pre-k education, you have to vote. If you care about women’s health care, you have to vote.
Nina Turner
For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn’t do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn’t fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere.
Bruce Springsteen
When I swapped studying for a wage and a proper job, Mam and Dad were devastated. I was rejecting an opportunity they never had. But their eldest son, at 16, wanted only to follow his father down the pit. It was to be the biggest education of my life.
Dennis Skinner
If you talk about STEM education, the best way to introduce anyone to STEM or get their curiosity going on, it’s Minecraft.
Satya Nadella
There is a disconnect in education and work. And corporates don’t do a great job of skilling. In future, corporates and educational institutions will work closely.
Shiv Nadar
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.
Taslima Nasrin
We have every resource necessary to provide access to education for every child on the planet; we just need to commit to enabling it.
Adam Braun
The mother cannot expect her daughter to understand the mysteries of housekeeping without education. She should instruct them patiently, lovingly, and make the work as agreeable as she can by her cheerful countenance and encouraging words of approval. If they fail once, twice, or thrice, censure not.
Ellen G. White
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who’ll get me a book I ain’t read.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Sachin Tendulkar
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.
Bayard Rustin
Learn to think continentally.
Alexander Hamilton
You can accomplish anything, if you are focused and determined, believe in yourself, and get education and certifications that will give you confidence.
Jessi Combs
Education is possibility set in motion.
Jill Biden
As a parent, a scientist, and educator, what I know is that it’s always better to provide the education that will help keep my children – all people – safe, even if I don’t want them to engage in the behavior.
Carl Hart
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.
Hillary Clinton
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.
John W. Gardner
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.
Kailash Satyarthi
No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process.
Louis L’Amour
Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom.
George Washington Carver
All school districts receive funds from the federal government, through the Department of Education, to support anti-drug education efforts.
John Walters
Education is not solely about earning a great living. It means living a great life.
Brad Henry
Do you know who the real hypocrite is? It’s the federal government and the Justice Department. It’s a fraud; it’s a lie. They have no interest in the education of black children. They are only interested in the politics of it.
James Meredith
I started off as a kid who didn’t care what my education was.
Virgil Abloh
The right to a quality education is, I believe, the perfect path to bridge the gap between different cultures and to reconcile various civilizations. Without such a right, the values of liberty, justice and equality will have no meaning. Ignorance is by far the biggest danger and threat to humankind.
Moza bint Nasser
The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.
Diogenes
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.
Havelock Ellis
Education can give you a skill, but a liberal education can give you dignity.
Ellen Key
I’m opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education, or public health, period.
Kamala Harris
A liberal education is at the heart of a civil society, and at the heart of a liberal education is the act of teaching.
A. Bartlett Giamatti
I started cooking seven years ago for real, and I started with pasta, and lasagna and roast chicken. Very normal American dishes. When I turned on Food Network, or any sort of cooking channel, that’s what people were making. So that’s where your education comes from.
Aarti Sequeira
My hope was that organizations would start including this range of skills in their training programs – in other words, offer an adult education in social and emotional intelligence.
Daniel Goleman
I’ve known for years that the university underserved the community, because we assumed that university education is for 18- to 22-year-olds, which is a proposition that’s so absurd it is absolutely mind-boggling that anyone ever conceptualized it. Why wouldn’t you take university courses throughout your entire life?
Jordan Peterson
Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers; the second, more personal and important, from himself.
Edward Gibbon
I went to college. I had a double major in biology and physical education, but my major was wrestling.
Dan Gable
Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
Ernest Dimnet
My education as a film composer, you can’t not – if you like the orchestra like I do, if you are a symphonist like I am – you can’t not listen to John Williams’ work.
Alexandre Desplat
I never stop reading. I read everything, and I read every day. If you never read anything, be curious. Curiosity is the true foundation of education, reading things that we’ve factually already agreed on, and I love reading books. With that said, it’s more important that you ask the question ‘why.’
Killer Mike
People go to school and get educated, but most people who go to school and become a graduate in eduation still don’t know what the word ‘education’ means… ‘Educo’ means to bring out.
Peter Tosh
You can choose a future where more Americans have the chance to gain the skills they need to compete, no matter how old they are or how much money they have. Education was the gateway to opportunity for me. It was the gateway for Michelle. And now more than ever, it is the gateway to a middle-class life.
Barack Obama
Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.
Francis Bacon
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?
Cesar Chavez
We don’t have the money in America to keep paying for the education of everybody else’s children from around the world. We simply don’t have the financial resources to do that.
Mo Brooks
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.
Muhammadu Buhari
I never let schooling interfere with my education.
Mark Twain
You can’t have a university without having free speech, even though at times it makes us terribly uncomfortable. If students are not going to hear controversial ideas on college campuses, they’re not going to hear them in America. I believe it’s part of their education.
Donna Shalala
Life isn’t all beer and skittles, but beer and skittles, or something better of the same sort, must form a good part of every Englishman’s education.
Thomas Hughes
I’m not posh, not in the slightest. My parents spent some money on my education, but I wasn’t born to the purple.
Matthew Goode
The lack of roads in Africa greatly hinders agriculture, education, and development.
Norman Borlaug
There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
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.
Alex Tabarrok
It is a thousand times better to have common sense without education than to have education without common sense.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
Mark Twain
I’ve become more and more aware of the promise and struggle to teach the global mind nowadays because I use every chance I get to ask faculty and administrators of management education programs why we don’t offer at least one course – not even required, just an elective – on the world’s religions.
Warren Bennis
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.
Alan Greenspan
Education… has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
G. M. Trevelyan
No one bill will cure the problem of spam. It will take a combined effort of legislation, litigation, enforcement, customer education, and technology solutions.
David Baker
I believe in God, but in my own unconventional way. We’re not affiliated with any organisation, and I have no religious education of any kind, but I definitely have my own kind of ideas about it.
Sarah Jessica Parker
For me, education has never been simply a policy issue – it’s personal. Neither of my parents and hardly anyone in the neighborhood where I grew up went to college. But thanks to a lot of hard work and plenty of financial aid, I had the opportunity to attend some of the finest universities in this country.
Michelle Obama
Martin Luther King was a misguided leader. He worked to be recognized as the leader of black America when what black America needs isn’t a leader, it is education.
Jim Brown
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
B. F. Skinner
We need to focus on helping EVERY child to get a world-class education in EVERY school in this country.
Angela Rayner
What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to the soul.
Joseph Addison
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.
Lucretia Mott
Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.
Bill Frist
I think I’m pretty smart. I think I’m pretty clever. But there’s a lot that you hone in on when you finish your education.
Michelle Obama
Because education is the backbone of a competitive workforce and successful economy, making it a priority is not uncommon.
Michael F. Easley
In spite of my surroundings, of my education, I had no love for God.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Change is the end result of all true learning.
Leo Buscaglia
Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.
Horace
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
Heather Watts
I have a big problem with people who glamorize dumbness and demonize education and intellect. And I’m giving a pretty good description of Sarah Palin right now.
Aaron Sorkin
Every educated person is a future enemy.
Martin Bormann
Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the worlds work, and the power to appreciate life.
Brigham Young
Education is the foundation for all we do in life, it shapes who we are and what we aspire to be. Creativity fuels innovation, and it’s what all states should strive to instill in the next generations.
Jim Hunt
Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.
Oswald Chambers
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
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.
Brad Henry
As technology changes the way we communicate, connect, create, consume and innovate, it is democratizing access to opportunity. Education is no exception.
Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen
As technology increasingly takes over knowledge-based work, the cognitive skills that are central to today’s education systems will remain important; but behavioral and non-cognitive skills necessary for collaboration, innovation, and problem solving will become essential as well.
Klaus Schwab
Education should learn from the positive side of gaming – reward, accomplishment, and fun.
Sebastian Thrun
With no education, you have neocolonialism instead of colonialism, like you’ve got in Africa now and like you’ve got in Haiti. So what we’re talking about is there has to be an educational program. That’s very important.
Fred Hampton
There were all us baby boomers who had a grammar school education, started to learn, then went on the pill, the whole thing, and so there are today a lot more women writers, editors, producers, and so a lot more women’s stories. God, the BBC’s practically run by women.
Julie Walters
That’s the beauty of education, kids taking lessons out of the classroom and back into their own world where they can positively affect their family, their friends, and their greater community.
Erin Gruwell
I chose to support Purpose Prep because it is important for every child to have the opportunity to receive a great education, and the Purpose Prep programs are designed for underprivileged children in my hometown to have access to those services.
Jalen Ramsey
You may be a redneck if… you have spent more on your pickup truck than on your education.
Jeff Foxworthy
Our solution on ‘The Simpsons’ is to do jokes that people who have an education, or some frame of reference, can get. And for the ones who don’t, it doesn’t matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, ‘D’oh!’
Matt Groening
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
Nelson Mandela
He who laughs most, learns best.
John Cleese
I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.
Albert Einstein
We don’t believe that you should ever replace physical education. Even in a thousand years, a computer will never be able to do so.
Sal Khan
How is it that little children are so intelligent and men so stupid? It must be education that does it.
Alexandre Dumas
Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots.
Karl Kraus
The worst education which teaches self-denial, is better than the best which teaches everything else, and not that.
John Sterling
The willingness to learn new skills is very high.
Angela Merkel
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.
Derek Bok
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.
Norman Cousins
Instead of a national curriculum for education, what is really needed is an individual curriculum for every child.
Charles Handy
The internet could be a very positive step towards education, organisation and participation in a meaningful society.
Noam Chomsky
There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests.
Marvin Hamlisch
The Indian education system, like the Indian bureaucratic system, is Victorian and still in the 19th century. Our schools are still designed to produce clerks for an empire that does not exist anymore.
Sugata Mitra
For African-Americans, it’s still going to be – some people say double hard – I’d say four times as hard. Be an opportunist. Take advantage of your resources, because the only way to win is with education, self-esteem, having value in yourself.
Claudette Colvin
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.
Felix Bloch
You may be able to read Bernard Shaw’s plays, you may be able to quote Shakespeare or Voltaire or some new philosopher; but if you in yourself are not intelligent, if you are not creative, what is the point of this education?
Jiddu Krishnamurti
Ensuring that we help prepare all kids for life, college, and work in our knowledge-based economy will require a collaborative, sustained effort from all stakeholders – from the president and the secretary of education on down to states, school districts, principals, teachers, parents, and community members.
Randi Weingarten
Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.
Alice Miller
Because I’ve never had any higher education of any sort, I’ve never held in awe those who have had it or have a sense of superiority over those who don’t.
Jeremy Corbyn
My main hope is eventually, in modern education field, introduce education about warm-heartedness, not based on religion, but based on common experience and a common sort of sense, and then scientific finding.
Dalai Lama
Education is the best economic policy there is.
Tony Blair
The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience.
John Dickey
‘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.
Dianne Feinstein
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.
Lynda Resnick
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
Benjamin Franklin
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.
Edsger Dijkstra
Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.
Kofi Annan
I believe God takes the things in our lives – family, background, education – and uses them as part of his calling. It might not be to become a pastor. But I don’t think God wastes anything.
Eugene H. Peterson
A good education gives you confidence to stick up your hand for anything – whether it is the job you want, or the bloke. And the more you stick up your hand, the better your chances are that you will get what you want.
Kate Reardon
This journey of education and breaking stigma around HIV is something that will have a legacy everlasting.
Gareth Thomas
The mere imparting of information is not education.
Carter G. Woodson
Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific.
Daisaku Ikeda
The rising costs of higher education coupled with the stress of paying student loans are putting increasing pressure on students.
Hank Johnson
One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.
John Lydon
I got a chance to listen to and watch Thelonious Monk and his quartet play two shows a night, for six weeks. It was a great education. There was my university, man.
Chick Corea
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Merit pay has failed repeatedly, and it’s no surprise. When you base teacher pay on standardized test scores, you won’t improve education; you just promote the high-stakes testing craze that’s led parents, students and educators to shout ‘Enough!’ all across the country.
Randi Weingarten
At three years of age, the child has already laid the foundations of the human personality and needs the special help of education in the school. The acquisitions he has made are such that we can say the child who enters school at three is an old man.
Maria Montessori
Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They’re both important and schools are forgetting one of them.
Robert Kiyosaki
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.
Janet Napolitano
Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced.
William Glasser
You cannot simply put more money into the same system and get better results, so we will need to reform and innovate in the delivery of education.
Rob McKenna
Education is the mother of leadership.
Wendell Willkie
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.
Ed Markey
Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.
Ron Lewis
Segregation has no place in the education system.
Richard Dawkins
Education and democracy have the same goal: the fullest possible development of human capabilities.
Paul Wellstone
Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.
Sidney Hook
We say arts education is good for general education, but that’s not the point. The arts are what great nations are remembered for. They are a mirror.
Damian Woetzel
When you revolutionize education, you’re taking the very mechanism of how people be smarter and do new things, and you’re priming the pump for so many incredible things.
Bill Gates
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Maimonides
We need to encourage innovative ideas that give parents better alternatives to prepare children for higher education and for the jobs of the future.
Larry Hogan
One of the greatest obstacles to escaping poverty is the staggering cost of higher education.
Chris Van Hollen
If it weren’t for my education, I truly wouldn’t be as successful at my job as a model.
Toni Garrn
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.
Carter G. Woodson
Even Milton Friedman – doyen of radical free market thought – was willing to consider some government intervention into primary education on the grounds that it is unfair for children to not get a chance in life because they were born to poor parents.
Abhijit Banerjee
Of the five most important things in life, health is first, education or knowledge is second, and wealth is third. I forget the other two.
Chuck Berry
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.
Annie Besant
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Albert Einstein
Upon books the collective education of the race depends; they are the sole instruments of registering, perpetuating and transmitting thought.
Harry S Truman
Our mission at Khan Academy is a free, world-class education for anyone, anywhere, and college readiness is a crucial part of that. We want to help as many students as possible prepare for college and for life, and since the SAT measures preparedness for college, our partnership with the College Board is a natural fit.
Sal Khan
Our principal writers have nearly all been fortunate in escaping regular education.
Hugh MacDiarmid
In the musician, there is a tendency to have a narrowness. It’s all compartmentalized. I am playing the violin; that’s all I know, nothing else, no education, no nothing. You just practice every day.
Itzhak Perlman
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.
Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani
Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.
Mark Twain
We can’t get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can’t just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
Barack Obama
Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.
Plato
I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don’t want to do.
Wynton Marsalis
Education is not about thinning the herd. Education is about helping every student succeed.
Andrew Ng
Although I love working and making movies and that will always be the priority, I really do love continuing my education. It’s great to be active and learning instead of sitting around waiting for a phone call for the next project.
Skyler Gisondo
Education is and will be the most powerful tool for individual and social change, and we must do all that it takes to facilitate it.
Shiv Nadar
The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Maynard James Keenan
The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government.
Sam Houston
Through hard work and education, we can deliver a strong economy and opportunity for all.
Julia Gillard
I believe that in the pursuit of education, individual desire is more influential than institution, and personal faith more forceful than faculty.
Russell M. Nelson
The economy is the start and end of everything. You can’t have successful education reform or any other reform if you don’t have a strong economy.
David Cameron
Without education we are in a horrible and deadly danger of taking educated people seriously.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Children need to get a high-quality education, avoid violence and the criminal-justice system, and gain jobs. But they deserve more. We want them to learn not only reading and math but fairness, caring, self-respect, family commitment, and civic duty.
Colin Powell
I was a Senate spouse for many, many years. I kept my own career. I was teaching and Joe was doing politics. I realized when we were elected vice president that I had a platform and I knew I was not going to waste my platform. It was going to focus women and girls’ education.
Jill Biden
No man who worships education has got the best out of education… Without a gentle contempt for education no man’s education is complete.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
