All men who have turned out worth anything have had the chief hand in their own education.
Walter Scott
Image
The elimination of ignorance, of illiteracy... and of needless inequalities in opportunities (is) to be seen as objectives that are valued for their own sake. They expand our freedom to lead the lives we have reason to value, and these elementary capabilities are of importance on their own
Amartya Sen
Image
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.
Warren Buffett
Image
It would be a mistake to assume that the present day educational system is unchanging. On the contrary, it is undergoing rapid change. But much of this change is no more than an attempt to refine the existent machinery, making it ever more efficient in pursuit of obsolete goals.
Alvin Toffler
Image
I kept thinking, 'Somebody has to make a food show that is actually educational and entertaining at the same time... a show that got down to the 'why things happen.' Plus, I hated my job - I didn't think it was very worthwhile
Alton Brown
Image
Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.
Tom Robbins
Image
Poverty is not really as much of an obstacle to educational expansion as it's sometimes made out to be.
Amartya Sen
Image
We are trying to enable anyone in the world to be their own educational DJ, creating educational materials, sharing them with the world, constantly innovating on them.
Richard Baraniuk
Image
I grew up in a very progressive family and with a great educational system, and I asked myself, 'Why doesn't everybody have these opportunities for a good education? So why not give back to these kids who didn't grow up with the same privileges I had?
Erin Gruwell
Image
The liberally educated person is one who is able to resist the easy and preferred answers, not because he is obstinate but because he knows others worthy of consideration.
Allan Bloom
Image
Teaching kids how to feed themselves and how to live in a community responsibly is the center of an education.
Alice Waters
Image
I wonder whether if I had an education I should have been more or less a fool that I am.
Alice James
Image
No one, and the liberal cognoscenti least of all, wants to look at why, after decades of throwing money at a rotting educational establishment and years of racial preferences black students are worse off than ever.
Wesley Pruden
Image
Crime is a social problem, and education is the only real deterrent. Look at all of us in prison we were all truants and dropouts, a failure of the educational system. Look at your truancy problem, and you're looking at your future prisoners. Put the money there.
Wilbert Rideau
Image
The parents, the society, the state, the church, the educational system, they all depend on lies. As the child is born they start trapping it into lies. And the child is helpless. He cannot escape his parents, he is utterly dependent. You can exploit his dependence...and it has been exploited down the ages.
Rajneesh
Image
In his commerce with men I mean him to include- and that principally- those who live only in the memory of books. By means of history he will frequent those great souls of former years. If you want it to be so, history can be a waste of time it can also be, if you want it to be so, a study bearing fruit beyond price.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Educational success should be measured by how strong your desire is to keep learning.
Alfie Kohn
Image
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Will Rogers
Image
You must never actually cheat the customer, even if you can. You must make her happy and satisfied, so she will come back.
Alexander Turney Stewart
Image
Our schools should get five years to get back to where they were in 1963. If they're still bad maybe we should declare educational bankruptcy, give the people their money and let them educate themselves and start their own schools
William Bennett
Image
I've seen people with a tremendous amount of educational background in the field not turn out to be terribly good actors, and I've seen people with no education in the field turn out to be people that I admire quite a bit
Ron Silver
Image
Knowledge is recognizing what you know and what you don't.
Confucius
Image
Our disregard of civic and moral virtue as an educational priority is having a tangible effect on the attitudes, understanding and behavior of large portions of the youth population in the United States today.
William Damon
Image
The dogmatism of science has become a new orthodoxy, disseminated by the Media and a State educational system with a thoroughness and subtlety far exceeding anything of the kind achieved by the Inquisition to the point that to believe today in a miraculous happening like the Virgin Birth is to appear a kind of imbecile.
Malcolm Muggeridge
