• I don’t know if the term ‘liberation theology,’ which can be interpreted in a very positive sense, will help us much.

• I’m a big believer in the student-athlete part. I value the education and what it provides for you. Football is a vocation. Only 1.67 percent of these athletes go on to the NFL.

• I actually support President Obama’s initiatives on early childhood. He has appointed me as a commissioner to consult his administration on educational excellence for Hispanics in the U.S. We try to find ways to improve the education system for Hispanics in America, to achieve excellence.

• The Republican majority, left to its own devices from 1995 to 2000, was a party committed to limited government and restoring the balances of federalism with the states.

• I am less disposed to think of a West Point education as requisite for this business than I was at first. Good sense and energy are the qualities required.
• Law without education is a dead letter. With education the needed law follows without effort and, of course, with power to execute itself indeed, it seems to execute itself.

• Let them be reassured, it has never been one of our intentions to ban religion in society, but solely to protect the national education system from any conspicuous display of religious affiliation.
• I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take, but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education, but understood that this is what I wanted to do.
• There is no war on women. Women are doing well. But women are thoughtful. And what we in the Republican Party and across the country, Republican, Independents and Democrat women say is we’re more thoughtful than a label.

• The very effect of the education they were given… was to make men think and, thinking, they became less and less satisfied with the miserable pays they received.
• I think that every child grows up with the ideas that what we are given, is our society. Your education, and your mother and father, they tell you this is how it is, but then you hit adolescence and you think, ‘Is it? Why? Why is it like that?’ Sometimes that questioning leads to something more.
• Education should be one of our top funding priorities talking about it does not help the teachers and students who desperately need promises fulfilled.
• So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.
• My job is to make sure that if you’re a family in Florida, your children can get a good education and you have the opportunity for a job. That’s my job and that’s what I think about every day.

• The message of women’s liberation is that women can love each other and ourselves against our degrading education.
• My parents always made education and school the number one priority. They believed that an education is the best gift you can give to your child.
• I think of it as a good opportunity to let, in particular, school kids know that this job and other interesting jobs in science and engineering are open to anyone who works hard in school and gets a good education and studies math and science. And that it’s not just for a select group of people.
• 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.
• When they favor the access of other people to education and health care, the countries of the North not only demonstrate generosity or solidarity, but also implement the principles of respecting and promoting human rights.

• You can’t stand for too many things. You can’t use the bully pulpit for too many things. So, I promise you, every day, I am going to talk about jobs, spending, and education.
• Because if you don’t have a great workforce, a great higher education system, you’re not going to have the next eBay, the next AmGen, the next, you know, Miasole, and not only California but America is going to fall behind a whole new competitive context which is obviously China, India, and other countries.

• 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.
• What we’re doing now is we’re saying that individual schools can spend the money on their own priorities, so that head teachers can decide what’s truly important, because the big shift in approach on education that we’re taking – which is different from what happened before – is that we trust teachers and we trust heads.
• This is a value-added college education if I have heard one described. And what is the most remarkable about Delaware State University graduates – is they just keeping giving back.
• They were often the first students in their family to go to college and the very idea of higher education was still foreign to them. They had to make a conscious and often difficult decision to come to college.
• By climbing a steeper road, the value and appreciation Delaware State students took and continue to take from their education and their experiences is just as great, if not greater, than students attending ivy league schools.
• After completing a Delaware State education, they were afforded opportunities beyond anything they might have imagined – and they opened doors for themselves that surely would have remained closed if they only had a high school education.
• As long as she is talented enough and passionate about doing it herself then I will be happy and support her. I think I will be sensible – my parents said I could only do it if I got my education and so I had something to fall back on.
• In the Brown decision, the United States Supreme Court unanimously struck down the legal and moral footing of racially segregated public education in this country.

• 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.

My family is a lower-middle-class family, there’s lots of children, seven brothers, two sisters grew up together, fighting with each other, went to school. My mother went to school up to 4th grade. My father went to school up to 8th grade. So that’s about the education level we had in the family.

• 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.
• 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.

• Further Education should be about the ability to learn, not the ability to pay – everyone who is able should have the opportunity, regardless of their family background. I don’t want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.
• I want to see far more decisions taken far closer to the patients, the passengers and the pupils. Far more power for locally and regionally elected politicians who understand best the needs of their areas. And far more say too for the dedicated staff at all levels in health and education.
• I believe that access to a university education should be based on the ability to learn, not what people can afford. I think there is no more nauseating a sight than politicians pulling up the ladder of opportunity behind them.

• Competitiveness is really what it costs you per man-hour to get you what you want. In other words, there’s an education level that plays into the mix and so if it’s inexpensive to buy an hour of real good education in places like China versus the U.S., that factors in.
• What’s got me excited about the education space is the growth of the Internet over the next 10, 20, 30 years.

• When women earn the money for the family, everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income, everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health, education, to food security, to the children, to the family, or to the community, so when women have an income, everybody wins.

• People say Malala’s voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala’s voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala’s voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women’s rights, and peace.
• 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.

• I started off as a kid who didn’t care what my education was.
• My kids are coming up in a different time then me. Interracial couples are of the norm. With me, it’s about making sure my kids understand the importance of education and having opportunities that I didn’t. My goal as a parent is to make sure they don’t take what they have for granted.

• 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?
• Kathleen Wynne and her band of radical-left cronies think they have a handle on what constitutes human identity and also what should constitute human morality.

• 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.

• 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.
• 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.

• Healthcare as a human right, it means that every child, no matter where you are born, should have access to a college or trade-school education if they so choose it, and I think no person should be homeless if we can have public structures and public policy to allow for people to have homes and food and lead a dignified life in the United States.
• The idea that we’re going to austerity ourselves into prosperity is so mistaken, and honestly, I feel like one of the big problems we have is that, because Democrats don’t have a deep understanding of or degrees in economics, they allow Wall Street folks to roll in the door and think that they’re giving them an education.
• I believe that every American should have stable, dignified housing; health care; education – that the most very basic needs to sustain modern life should be guaranteed in a moral society.

• The country that consistently ranks among the highest in educational achievement is Finland. A rich country, but education is free. Germany, education is free. France, education is free.

• You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that’s the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.
• 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.
• Public education is our greatest pathway to opportunity in America. So we need to invest in and strengthen our public universities today, and for generations to come.
• Those parts of history that would undermine the vision of the Left – which prevails in our education system from elementary school to postgraduate study – are not likely to get much attention.
• Creating whole departments of ethnic, gender, and other ‘studies’ was part of the price of academic peace. All too often, these ‘studies’ are about propaganda rather than serious education.
• My system is to be considered a system leading up, in a general way, to education. It can be followed not only in the education of little children from three to six years of age, but can be extended to children up to ten years of age.
• In America today, a young person needs more education after high school just to have a chance to make it in the middle class. Not a guarantee, just a chance to make it.
• G.E. doesn’t pay any taxes, and we are asking college kids to take on even more debt to get an education and asking seniors to get by on less. These aren’t just economic questions. These are moral questions.
• In school, many of us procrastinate and then successfully cram for tests. We get the grades and degrees we need to get the jobs we want, even if we fail to get a good general education.
• There is a heavy emphasis in Mormonism on initiative, on responsibility, on a work ethic, and on education. If you take those elements together with a free-enterprise system, you’ve got the chemistry for a lot of industry.
• If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it’s not religion, but you can train through education.
• Religion, any religion, no matter what sort of wonderful religion, never be universal. So now education is universal, so we have to sort of find ways and means through education system, from kindergarten up to university level, to make awareness these good things, the values, inner values.
• In poor countries, we still need better ways to measure the effectiveness of the many government workers providing health services. They are the crucial link bringing tools such as vaccines and education to the people who need them most. How well trained are they? Are they showing up to work?
• By 2018, an estimated 63 percent of all new U.S. jobs will require workers with an education beyond high school. For our young people to get those jobs, they first need to graduate from high school ready to start a postsecondary education.

• Good education, housing and jobs are imperatives for the Negroes, and I shall support them in their fight to win these objectives, but I shall tell the Negroes that while these are necessary, they cannot solve the main Negro problem.
• The education I received was a British education, in which British ideas, British culture, British institutions, were automatically assumed to be superior. There was no such thing as African culture.
• On the first day of school, my teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave each of us an English name and said that from thenceforth that was the name we would answer to in school. This was the custom among Africans in those days and was undoubtedly due to the British bias of our education.
• Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.
• What I call my ‘self’ now is hardly a person at all. It’s mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.
• Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.
• 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.
• It’s not enough to train today’s workforce. We also have to prepare tomorrow’s workforce by guaranteeing every child access to a world-class education.
• Everybody should be interested in access to primary and secondary education for everybody.
• 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.
• The French talk about education, the education of their children. They don’t talk about raising kids. They talk about education. And that has nothing to do with school. It’s this kind of broad description of how you raise children and what you teach them.
• In England, we’d leave school at 15 and go on to a college, and I went to further education in a town called Welling Garden City. I fully immersed myself in bohemia there, which included poetry and modern art, jazz, philosophy, social radicalism.
• The American Dream is not being dependent on the federal government for your health care, for your automobile, for your college education, for your student loan on and on and on.
• 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.
• 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.
• I had an excellent Ivy League education, and it gave me a long view of things.
• Class I to XII wasn’t much help; I was always a mediocre student. But when I pursued higher education and studied economics with theatre or psychology with science fiction, I got a whole new world view.
• Make education more accessible to women – all women, not just Americans.
• I am in favor of saying, ‘Okay, let’s get teams of educators and experts in certain disciplines to say, ‘What are the basic things that we think are an essential part of an early education for people?” Put them together and create, as well as possible, a set of goals and tools to learn those things.
• Education is far less about a set of facts than a way of thinking, than learning how to critically think. And therefore, what I always think should be the basis of education is not answers but questions.
• I think Haig will be foolish, but perhaps not quite as foolish as Kissinger was, because Haig doesn’t have the education Kissinger had. Haig is a little more dangerous because, I fear, he believes what he says, whereas I never got that impression from Kissinger.
• One may have broad or narrow talents, but only education renders them useful. Schools set up to train people will develop the intelligence of those who have it and end the stupidity of those who do not, providing a specialty to those who have narrow talent and broad knowledge to those with all-around ability.
• Our understanding of Shakespeare already depends largely on the vitality of Renaissance elements in our education. Each man must live in his own generation, as the saying is; but the generations are bound together by the golden links of the great tradition of civilization.
• My writing is often a way of ‘bearing witness’ for others who lack the education and the opportunity to tell their own stories, so I hope that my writing won’t be affected too much by my personal life.
• An education system suits some more than others. It can lead you out into life or lead you on a wild goose chase. It can help to make you miserable, or dull and nasty and insipid, or profoundly stupid in the special way that ‘brainy’ people can be.
• For 13 years, I struggled with education and have only just realised that I was actually struggling to protect myself from it. I was trying to protect my soul.
• But when you talk about the education and you talk about the lack of recreation for kids to do, I mean, it’s second to none in New Orleans when you talk about the lack of opportunities for young people. And it’s not just black kids, it’s white kids. It’s Asian kids. I had Vietnamese kids in my class that had lack of opportunities.
• 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.
• I came along and was a teenager in the Depression, and nobody had jobs. So I went out hitchhiking, when I met a man named Woody Guthrie. He was the single biggest part of my education.
• There’s no authoritarian structure at Reed College, but the education is conservative. So what you have is a lot of students who are very authentically looking for truth.
• I didn’t even have a clear idea of why I wanted to go to Oxford – apart from the fact I had fallen in love with the architecture. It certainly wasn’t out of some great sense of academic or intellectual achievement. In many ways, my education only began after I’d left university.
• 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.
• Mr. Obama seeks to federalize large portions of education, beginning with his attempt to nationalize college student loans.
• I don’t believe in private education.
• The whole process of this record was an education for me as a musician.
• ‘m just going to be a good friend to my kid. One thing I definitely want to change is that whole ‘I don’t want you to make the same mistakes’ mentality. My dad didn’t have much money growing up; he didn’t have much of an education. He forced that on me, and I didn’t want it.
• I believe that the way to justice is education.
• 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.
• When we look at the situation in Ferguson, Missouri and the tragic death of Michael Brown, we are reminded of the importance of who we elect to our city councils, who sits on our local board of education committees, who we pick to represent us in Congress, in the Senate and more.
• Everything from who sits on your local board of education to the prosecutors and judicial appointments in your area and much more are all impacted by who holds political office.
• The thirst for education that comes with the change the gospel brings can be a blessing or a curse, depending on our motives.
• I was honored to wear ‘Arizona’ across my chest. I am extremely blessed to have my education completely paid for and take part in the great tradition of Wildcat softball. To have my jersey number retired was the ultimate compliment.
• I think that young Australians ought to be taking language education much more seriously. I mean, you know, every day I’m meeting people with expertise, ability and talent in fields where I want to learn so much more; science, for example.
• I knew I wanted to be a part of NASA in any case, and so I chose my goals in education to be consistent with working at NASA even as, you know, a scientist.
• I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions.
• Leaders are not, as we are often led to think, people who go along with huge crowds following them. Leaders are people who go their own way without caring, or even looking to see, whether anyone is following them. Leadership qualitiesx9d are not the qualities that enable people to attract followers, but those that enable them to do without them. They include, at the very least, courage, endurance, patience, humor, flexibility, resourcefulness, stubbornness, a keen sense of reality, and the ability to keep a cool and clear head, even when things are going badly. True leaders, in short, do not make people into followers, but into other leaders.
• An eternal question about children is, how should we educate them? Politicians and educators consider more school days in a year, more science and math, the use of computers and other technology in the classroom, more exams and tests, more certification for teachers, and less money for art. All of these responses come from the place where we want to make the child into the best adult possible, not in the ancient Greek sense of virtuous and wise, but in the sense of one who is an efficient part of the machinery of society. But on all these counts, soul is neglected.
• Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
• The parents have to learn that the child should not be insulted, humiliated, condemned. If you want to help him, love him more. Appreciate what is good in him rather than emphasizing what is bad. Talk about his goodness. Let the whole neighborhood know how nice and beautiful a boy he is. You may be able to shift his energy from the bad side to the good side, from the dark side to the lighted side, because you will make him aware that this is the way to get respect, this is the way to be honored. And you will prevent him from doing anything that makes him fall down in people’s eyes.
• I learned to focus and work hard and not give up. I learned that every obstacle is really an opportunity.
• I learned that focus is key. Not just in your running a company, but in your personal life as well.
• On Albert Einstein: Unlike most of his schoolmates, and schoolchildren today for that matter, the young Albert supplemented his education at school with his own self-styled curriculum at home and developed the skills he deemed important. He read and read and read. When he was hard at work, even the chaos of the family’s constant chatter could not distract the little autodidact.
• The internet is the best school ever created. The best peers are on the Internet. The best books are on the Internet. The best teachers are on the Internet. The tools for learning are abundant. It’s the desire to learn that’s scarce.
• Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
• Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
• The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle.

• Suffering is one of life’s great teachers.
• In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself.
• I learn the most when it’s really, really tough.
• I wrote my first novel at the age of 19. […] I didn’t get published until I was 28. There was a lot of learning from 19 to 28.
• I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to.
• I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I’ve done in my life is between jobs.
• Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.
• With an education you all have everything you need to rise above all of the noise and fulfill every last one of your dreams.
• You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
• Resiliency is a skill that cannot be overlooked. In fact, it can be a skill that is the difference between surviving and thriving.
• The first lesson I’ve learned is that no matter what you do in your life, you have to figure out your own internal rhythms – I mean, what works for you doesn’t necessarily work for your friend.
• All things are lessons that God would have us learn.
• This world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything. There is a lesson in each experience. Learn it and become wise. Every failure is a stepping stone to success. Every difficulty or disappointment is a trial of your faith. Every unpleasant incident or temptation is a test of your inner strength. Therefore nil desperandum.
• You take an educated gamble. If you don’t occasionally make a mistake, you’re not doing your job.
• Learn from the past, look to the future, but live in the present.
• Events are the best teacher for us. You try to learn from people, there is always some bend to it.
• Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. Remember that fear always lurks behind perfectionism.
• Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education.
• What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better.
• Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you’ve got something to share.
• A smart man makes a mistake, learns from it, and never makes that mistake again. But a wise man finds a smart man and learns from him how to avoid the mistake altogether.
• Experience is the only teacher we have. We may talk and reason all our lives, but we shall not understand a word of truth until we experience it ourselves.

• You can learn so much just by doing, not by listening to anybody.

• At the very core of my relationship to learning is the idea that we should be as organic as possible. We need to cultivate a deeply refined introspective sense, and build our relationship to learning around our nuance of character.
• The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what’s best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you’re banging your head against a brick wall all the time.
• Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

• Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge. Let your learning lead to action.
• With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.

• I believe that a parent’s role is to provide a path or opportunity for their children.
• I think if you give your best as a parent, then that’s all you can do.
• The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn.
• The child should live in an environment of beauty.
• My parents encouraged thought. You’ll get through life better if you learn how to think.

• It is time for parents to teach young people early on that in diversity there is beauty and there is strength.
• If you are a parent, open doors to unknown directions to the child so he can explore. Don’t make him afraid of the unknown, give him support.

• Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.

• Parents lend children their experience and a vicarious memory; children endow their parents with a vicarious immortality.
• I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher.
• I’ve come to a frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a teacher, I possess a tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whether a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanized or dehumanized.
• I think once you’re in the public eye, whether you’re a boss, a teacher or whatever you do, that you’re automatically in the position of role model. You have people looking up to you, so whether you choose to accept it or not is a different question.
• Teaching is an instinctual art, mindful of potential, craving of realizations, a pausing, seamless process.
• Parents: let your kids fail. You’ll be doing them a favor.
• Dear parents, have great patience, and forgive from the depths of your heart.
• Children need love, especially when they do not deserve it.
• My parents taught me I could be anything in the world I wanted to be.
• I learned most, not from those who taught me but from those who talked with me.
• Parents need to fill a child’s bucket of self-esteem so night that the rest of the world can’t poke enough holes to drain it dry.
• And you know, life is a constant learning experience. I learn so much with my kids. I read tons of books and study what they’re studying.
• I got a lot of support from my parents. That’s the one thing I always appreciated. They didn’t tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
• On his father: He spent a lot of time with me… teaching me how to build things, how to take things apart, put things back together.
• If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and keep on learning. That way, their children don’t have to be slaves of praise.
• Growing up, my parents were my heroes, in the way they conducted their lives.
• My parents never talked to me like I was a kid. Maybe that’s why I’ve been seen as mature.
• Honour your daughters, trust them and most importantly, educate them.
• I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now.
• Example is not the main thing in influencing others. It is the only thing.
• Parents can lay the foundations for their teenage children to take good decisions, for example by promoting their ability to retain and elaborate information, or to balance the desire for immediate reward with the one for greater, long-term goals since a young age.
• In teaching you cannot see the fruit of a day’s work. It is invisible and remains so, maybe for twenty years.
• A teacher is a person who never says anything once.
• Kids’ views are often just as valid as the teachers’. The best teachers are the ones that know that.
• Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.
• I think eventually I want to become a teacher, like my father wanted to be, and hopefully positively influence the next generation.

• Teaching is the greatest act of optimism.
• The teacher is the one who gets the most out of the lessons, and the true teacher is the learner.
• I always felt I needed to teach to survive.
• It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.
• The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called ‘truth’.
• Without any doubt at all, teacher quality is the fundamental differentiator. Not just, incidentally, of education, but I would argue, probably the biggest single differentiator of success for the nations of the 21st Century.
• The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’
• We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.

• Teachers appreciate being appreciated, for teacher appreciation is their highest award.
• I’m convinced many of America’s heroes are public school teachers and administrators.
• Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.
• One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
• Teachers are our greatest public servants; they spend their lives educating our young people and shaping our Nation for tomorrow.
• Teachers have the hardest and most important jobs in America. They’re building our nation. And we should appreciate them, respect them, and pay them well.
• No one is more important to the future of our state than our teachers.
• Teachers are the one and only people who save nations.
• Teachers have a chance to mold someone, inspire them. I hope all teachers realize that.
• 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.
• The most beautiful things in the creating of the child are his ‘mistakes’. The more a child’s work is full of these individual mistakes the more wonderful it is. And the more a teacher removes them from the child’s work the duller, more desolate and impersonal it becomes.
• Fear is not a good teacher. The lessons of fear are quickly forgotten.
• A good teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary.
• There is no recipe to be a great teacher, that’s what is unique about them.
• So what does a good teacher do? Create tension – but just the right amount.
• We expert teachers know that motivation and emotional impact are what matter.
• Great teachers are earnest learners.
• A good teacher is a master of simplification and an enemy of simplism.
• A teacher is never a giver of truth – he is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself. A good teacher is merely a catalyst.
• The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
• Good teachers make the best of a pupil’s means; great teachers foresee a pupil’s ends.
• Good teachers know how to bring out the best in students.
• A good teacher will appreciate the good qualities of his students. If one good quality is allowed to emerge, a world of good qualities will emerge from that one.
• The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
• Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.
• Good teaching is one-fourth preparation and three-fourths theater.
• Tragedy is a hell of a teacher. It’s much too strict, but it’s a hell of a teacher.
• Our best teachers do more than impart facts and figures – they inspire and encourage students and instill a true desire to learn. That’s a fine art in itself.
• Great teachers transcend ideology.
• The first education should be the harmonious development of the child’s physical, mental and spiritual powers. Providing warm and understanding responses to your children’s ‘hearts’ accomplishes far more than pressuring book knowledge into their minds.
• When the teacher regards each student as a unique individual and therefore not to be compared with any other, he is then not concerned with system or method. His sole concern is with ‘helping’ the student to understand the conditioning influences about him and within himself, so that he can face intelligently without fear, the complex process of living and not add more problems to the already existing mess.
• Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them to become what they are capable of becoming.
• The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.
• The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.
• One of the main focuses of my training sessions is to help individuals find their unique voices in the learning process. We all have our strengths, our weaknesses, our styles of learning, our personalities. Developing introspective sensitivity to these issues is critical to long-term success.
• You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
• A teacher who is not dogmatic is simply a teacher who is not teaching.
• There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.

• Rewards and punishment is the lowest form of education.
• Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.
• Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon.
• The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently.
• If you’re teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.
• Please stop teaching my children that everyone gets a trophy just for participating. What is this, the Nobel Prize? Not everybody gets a trophy.
• It is easier for a tutor to command than to teach.
• I had teachers who I could tell didn’t want to be there. And I just couldn’t get inspired by someone who didn’t want to be there.
• A child cannot be taught by anyone who despises him.
• In order to help another effectively, I must understand what he understands. If I do not know that, my greater understanding will be of no help to him… instruction begins when you put yourself in his place so that you may understand what he understands and in the way he understands it.
• As a teacher, my strategy is to encourage questioning. I’m the least authoritarian professor you’ll ever meet.
• Our job is not to prepare students for something. Our job is to help students prepare themselves for anything.
• Rather than jumping straight into the answers, let’s try to start students off with the sort of questions that encourage them to do their own seeking.
• Humor activates our sense of wonder, which is where learning begins.
• Developing a desire to learn is the kindling point of all classroom achievement.
• The most important thing I think teachers can do for young people is to make them inquiring, is to ensure that they know how to gather information, that they check information and they take their information from a multiplicity of sources.
• The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
• Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.
• Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.
• Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.
• The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called truthx9d.
• The job of an educator is to teach students to see the vitality in themselves.
• The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.
• When the atmosphere encourages learning, the learning is inevitable.
• The most effective teachers embody the teaching they give out.
• A teacher’s job is to take a bunch of live wires and see that they are well-grounded.
• Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!
• The secret in education lies in respecting the student.
• The job of the teacher is to inspired, to challenge, to excite their students to want to learn. Yes, they also do explain and demonstrate and show things, but fundamentally that is beside the point. The most important thing a teacher is make every student feel like they are important, to make them feel accountable for doing the work of learning.
• A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a lot of ignorance is just as bad.
• I learned how to win by losing and not liking it.
• I think my parents gave me a love of learning; from there you set out on your own path.
• Learning how to work and learning how to fail is important.

• All are agreed, that the increase of learning and good morals are great blessings to society.
• The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live.
• What I’ve come to know is that in life, it’s not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning.
• The gateways to wisdom and learning are always open, and more and more I am choosing to walk through them. Barriers, blocks, obstacles, and problems are personal teachers giving me the opportunity to move out of the past and into the Totality of Possibilities.
• If we learn not humility, we learn nothing.
• You should put time into learning your craft. It seems like people want success so quickly, way before they’re ready.
• The only thing that mattered was what you were to do in life, and it wasn’t about money. It was about teaching, or learning.
• All the learning in the world cannot replace instinct.
• I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.
• You only stop learning when you quit.
• One of the bigger misconceptions of learning is that many skills take a lifetime to get world-class at, or 10,000 hours to become world-class at.
• People learn something every day, and a lot of times it’s that what they learned the day before was wrong.
• There is no single way to educate.
• Children just need the time, the space, and the permission to be kids.
• We should not teach children the sciences but give them a taste for them.
• A good teacher must know the rules; a good pupil, the exceptions.
• You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.
• My whole teaching is simply this: Whatsoever you are, accept it so totally that nothing is left to be achieved, and you will become a white cloud.
• Every child is simple, just a clean slate. Then the parents start writing on his slate – what he has to become. Then the teachers, the priests, the leaders – they all go on emphasizing that you have to become somebody; otherwise, you have wasted your life. Just the opposite is the case. You are a being. You need not become anybody else. That is the meaning of simplicity: remaining at ease with one’s being, and not going on any track of becoming – which is unending.
• On questioning everything: It would infuriate my parents that I wouldn’t just believe them when they said something, because I asked them why and then I consider whether that response made sense given everything else I know.
• I think people can choose to be not ordinary. They can choose to not necessarily conform to the conventions that were taught to them by their parents. So yes, I think it’s possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary.
• Passive acceptance of the teacher’s wisdom is easy to most boys and girls. It involves no effort of independent thought, and seems rational because the teacher knows more than his pupils; it is moreover the way to win the favor of the teacher unless he is a very exceptional man. Yet the habit of passive acceptance is a disastrous one in later life. It causes man to seek and to accept a leader, and to accept as a leader whoever is established in that position.
• The truth is when I went to graduate school I would’ve said I was among the least talented of the students, I was certainly the least smart, or less educated. But I worked very hard.
• It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it.
• Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
• Learning acquired in youth arrests the evil of old age; and if you understand that old age has wisdom for its food, you will so conduct yourself in youth that your old age will not lack for nourishment.
• The function of a child is to live his/her own life, not the life that his/her anxious parents think he/she should live, nor a life according to the purpose of the educators who thinks they knows best.

• The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
• Learn what is true in order to do what is right.
• Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
• What is important is to keep learning, to enjoy challenge, and to tolerate ambiguity. In the end there are no certain answers.
• The key thing to remember about me is that I’m still a student. I’m still in boot camp.
• 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.
• Talent develops in quiet places, character in the full current of human life.
• We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.
• The supreme lesson of any education should be to think for yourself and to be yourself; absent this attainment, education creates dangerous, stupefying conformity.

• Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.
• Learn as much as you can while you are young, since life becomes too busy later.

• Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?
• Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.

• 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.
• I was delighted to see him growing more cautious and skeptical about what he heard, especially when he heard it from someone in apparent authority. I think that is fundamental to a good education. And if it comes back to bite me from time to time, that’s a price worth paying.
• Learning and education are a normal part of everyday life and do not need a vast expensive bureaucracy to force them to happen.
• There are as many approaches to unschooling as there are people, by design. A child is supported to read when ready and interested, not on another’s timetable, for example. He can and will be encouraged to pursue a wide range of interests, based on his interests, such as free play, inventing, experimenting scientifically, video gaming, role modeling through friendship, spiritual development through inquiry of self and others, athletics, learning to trust himself and others.
• You will not reap the fruit of individuality in your children if you clone their education.
• The home is the first and most effective place to learn the lessons of life: truth, honor, virtue, self-control, the value of education, honest work, and the purpose and privilege of life. Nothing can take the place of home in rearing and teaching children, and no other success can compensate for failure in the home.
• More of family and less of school, more of parents and less of peers, more creative freedom and less formal lessons.
• Homeschooling will certainly produce some socially awkward adults, but the odds are good they would have been just as quirky had they spent twelve years raising their hand for permission to go to the bathroom.

• Those who know how to think need no teachers.
• Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
• The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil. It is not for you to choose what he shall know, what he shall do. It is chosen and foreordained and he only holds the key to his own secret.
• Walk into a wealthy person’s home and one of the first things you’ll see is an extensive library of books they’ve used to educate themselves on how to become more successful.
• You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
• Truth is not to be found outside. No teacher, no scripture can give it to you. It is inside you and if you wish to attain it, seek your own company. Be with yourself.
• If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

• You either write your own script or you become an actor in someone else’s.

• Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.
• Far from failing in its intended task, our educational system is in fact succeeding magnificently because its aim is to keep the American people thoughtless enough to go on supporting the system.
• I suppose it is because nearly all children go to school nowadays and have things arranged for them that they seem so forlornly unable to produce their own ideas.
• Thank goodness I was never sent to school; it would have rubbed off some of the originality.
• The home is the chief school of human virtues.
• Real education must ultimately be limited to men who insist on knowing. The rest is mere sheep herding.
• One of the marks of an educated man today is to know what not to read – what not to see or what not to listen to.
• Any child who can spend an hour or two a day, or more if he wants, with adults that he likes, who are interested in the world and like to talk about it, will on most days learn far more from their talk than he would learn in a week of school.
• What is most important and valuable about the home as a base for children’s growth into the world is not that it is a better school than the schools, but that it isn’t a school at all.
• It is hard not to feel that there must be something very wrong with much of what we do in school, if we feel the need to worry so much about what many people call ‘motivation’. A child has no stronger desire than to make sense of the world, to move freely in it, to do the things that he sees bigger people doing.
• The plain fact is that education is itself a form of propaganda – a deliberate scheme to outfit the pupil, not with the capacity to weigh ideas, but with a simple appetite for gulping ideas ready-made. The aim is to make ‘good’ citizens, which is to say, docile and uninquisitive citizens.

• The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.

• The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.
• The most important lessons lay not in what I needed to learn, but in what I first needed to unlearn.
• Unlearning is about moving away from something ” letting go ” rather than acquiring. It’s like stripping old paint. It lays the foundation for the new layer of fresh learning to be acquired and to stick.
• It is not hard to learn more. What is hard is to unlearn when you discover yourself wrong.
• Doubt grows with knowledge.
• People who are over-educated become risk-averse.
• The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
• If the primary purpose of school was education, the Internet should obsolete it. But school is mainly about credentialing.

• A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.
• Reading and discovering fiction has taught me how to empathize, understand falling in love and all those complex relationships that people have to deal with.

• The university most worthy of rational admiration is that one in which your lonely thinker can feel himself lonely, most positively furthered, and most richly fed.

• Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.

• I’m reading more than ever. I used to find it tedious, but now it’s like my little friend – it takes my mind off things.
• I think reading is important for a variety of things. I mean, first of all, it’s a way to get information and find out what’s going on in the world. But also, it helps your imagination.
• Reading serves as a good escape when you’re in the middle of doing crazy things.

• When you want to teach children to think, you begin by treating them seriously when they are little, giving them responsibilities, talking to them candidly, providing privacy and solitude for them, and making them readers and thinkers of significant thoughts from the beginning. That’s if you want to teach them to think.
• Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.
• My coach and my parents both had this relationship to what I was doing, which was allowing me to express myself with chess. And so I could love it. I had a passion for it. I was expressing myself through chess, and I was learning about myself through chess.
• It is true that my parents were worried because I began to speak relatively late, so much so that they consulted a doctor. I can’t say how old I was then, certainly not less than three.
• I do believe that when your child does poorly on a test, your first step should not necessarily be to attack the teacher or the school’s curriculum. It should be to look at the idea that, maybe, the child didn’t work hard enough.
• But, in fact, there is nothing that can bring you closer to fearlessness about everything else in the world than being a parent – because everyday fears – like not being approved of – pale by comparison to the fears you have about your children.
• I learned from my parents the idea that, if you are devoted enough and you want to study something enough, you can really teach yourself anything.
• The more certain kids are that someone’s got their back, the more confident and autonomous they can be.
• To educate the intelligence is to expand the horizon of its wants and desires.
• 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.
• I’ve learned that the best classroom in the world is at the feet of an elderly person.
• Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits.
• Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.
• Education is the art of making man ethical.
• Education is teaching our children to desire the right things.
• Education is the power to think clearly, the power to act well in the world’s work, and the power to appreciate life.
• Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities – that’s training or instruction – but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.
• Educate your children to self-control, to the habit of holding passion and prejudice and evil tendencies subject to an upright and reasoning will, and you have done much to abolish misery from their future and crimes from society.
• It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.
• I think the biggest difference is that I’ve noticed Western parents seem much more concerned about their children’s psyches, their self-esteem, whereas tough immigrant parents assume strength rather than fragility in their children and therefore behave completely differently.
• Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child’s natural bent.
• I was raised by extremely strict – but also extremely loving – Chinese immigrant parents, and I had the most wonderful childhood! I remember laughing constantly with my parents – my dad is a real character and very funny.
• Parenting is the hardest thing I have ever done. I tried to find the balance between the strict, traditional Chinese way I was raised, which I think can be too harsh, and what I see as a tendency in the West to be too permissive and indulgent. If I could do it all again, I would, with some adjustments.
• As a nonparent, I stand in awe of parents.
• That best academy, a mother’s knee.
• One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
• Of course, parents are the most important people in a child’s life.
• You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
• We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.
• When you become a parent, it’s not all about you anymore.
• Being a parent is not a reasonable thing. It is a very hard thing. I am a parent and I know.
• But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I’m upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.
• When you become a parent, you look at your parents differently. You look at being a child differently. It’s an awakening, a revelation that you have.
• You know, parenting is so personal. And we’re all afraid that we didn’t quite get it right. And it feels like the stakes are so high. By we – what if we made a mistake?
• Being a mother has been my greatest teacher and also the most self-sacrificing thing I’ve ever done.
• Nothing is so contagious as example.
• Children are educated by what the grown-up is and not by his talk.
