Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.

What is life but education, anyway?

If my future were determined just by my performance on a standardized test, I wouldn’t be here. I guarantee you that.

Knowledge without education is but armed injustice.

The Supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things – the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.

You must unlearn what you have learned.

God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.

That’s the way to study history-by noting evolutionary processes.

When girls are educated, their countries become stronger and more prosperous.

We believe, that is, you and I, that education is not an expense. We believe it is an investment.

We seldom suffer from taking our subject of study too seriously, but we usually suffer when we take ourselves too seriously.

All students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day in the same way.

I grew up in a working-class neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago where most folks, including my parents, didn’t have college degrees. But with a lot of hard work – and a lot of financial aid – I had the chance to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School, and that gave me the confidence to pursue my ambitions.

Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man far better than through mortal friends.

Education not just preparation for life, but part if life itself-a continuous art.
