“We need to unlearn our respect for education, since it has undermined our respect for ourselves. It's worth taking time to demistify it. [...] All the things an adolescent can be [...] are reduced to a three digit number. [...] We too can decide how to value our education instead of letting them value us.” 

As far as Saddam Hussein being a great military strategist, he is neither a strategist, nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general, nor is he a soldier. Other than that, he's a great military man, I want you to know that.

“No wonder studies show that women's intellectual self-esteem tends to go down as years of education go up. We have been studying our own absence.” 

“I do not like to write - I like to have written.”

“A great curse has fallen upon modern life with the discovery of the vastness of the word Education.

“I would rather a boy learnt in the roughest school the courage to hit a politician, or gained in the hardest school the learning to refute him – rather than that he should gain in the most enlightened school the cunning to copy him.” 

“It is the first law of practical courage. To be in the weakest camp is to be in the strongest school.” 

Back in the old days, we were often compared to Led Zeppelin. If we did something with harmony, it was the Beach Hoys. Something heavy was Led Zeppelin.

When I read the script [of Glee], the whole premise was that all the high school kids were being cruel to this kid in the wheelchair, and then the quarterback comes along and has a heart of gold and takes him out of a Porta Potty. That's too often what I see in media, that the characters with disabilities are there to make other people seem like heroes for treating the character with a disability with respect. Those are the kinds of roles that are out there.

“Instead of studying books so constantly, how I wish that our schools and colleges might learn to study men and things!”

“Education is not a thing apart from life—not a “system,” nor a philosophy; it is direct teaching how to live and how to work.”

 At the bottom of education, at the bottom of politics, even at the bottom of religion, there must be for our race economic independence

 We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary 

Too often the educational value of doing well what is done, however little, is overlooked. One thing well done prepares the mind to do the next thing better. Not how much, but how well, should be the motto. One problem thoroughly understood is of more value than a score poorly mastered.

 Providence so often uses men and institutions to accomplish a purpose. 

Study me as much as you like, you will never know me. For I differ a hundred ways from what you see me to be.

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.

The group consisting of mother, father and child is the main educational agency of mankind.

We must remember that intelligence is not enough. […] The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.

Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
