To the extent that we are all educated and informed, we will be more equipped to deal with the gut issues that tend to divide us.

Responsibility educates.

Books are the blessed chloroform of the mind.

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.

I would like to learn, or remember, how to live.

While there are many obstacles that deter students from going to college, finances by no means should be the deciding factor.

I'm hoping someday that we'll be able to start a consortium with places like Carnegie Hall to work on early childhood education. I really feel that's the most important place to put the arts.

America is the best half-educated country in the world.

Our universities and museums are respected around the country.

I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.

I was a Fine Art major. You do a bit of everything until the final year, when you specialise. I did pencil drawing and sculpture. It's a pretty well-rounded fine art education.

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.

Learning teacheth more in one year than experience in twenty.

It was depressing, very depressing. I worried about how I would make a living. I didn't want to stay on the farm. It didn't offer the challenge I wanted and yet, without a college education, I felt that I was really out of luck.

You can educate yourself right out of a relationship with God.

Getting through high school and college was one of my greatest achievements.

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.

I know a lot of people think I'm dumb. Well, at least I ain't no educated fool.

I am very proud of the quality of public education in Nebraska, but I believe we have an obligation to continually assess whether our system is meeting 21st Century education needs.

Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.

Every educated person is a future enemy.
