Dalai Lama

Being neededdoes not entail selfish pride or unhealthy attachment to the worldly esteem of others. Rather, it consists of a natural human hunger to serve our fellow men and women.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

Love is the absence of judgment.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others is the ultimate source of success in life.

A mind committed to compassion is like an overflowing reservoir – a constant source of energy, determination and kindness.

Education can’t focus only on developing our wonderful brain. We also need warm-heartedness. This is my view.

I don’t care what their [Guns N’ Roses] record is. If you need a blood donor and the only person who can give you a transfusion is Hitler, you take the blood.

I never cut class. I loved getting A’s, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read, he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.

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

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

Because of the flexibility that community colleges afford, many students do not have to choose between an education and fulfilling other responsibilities – they can do both.

There was no word dyslexia when I was a kid. You were just dumb.

Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.

An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all.

Over the years, I have again and again asked fellow believers in a free society how they managed to escape the contagion of their collectivist intellectual environment. No name has been mentioned more often as the source of enlightenment than Friedrich Hayek’s.

But before any great things are accomplished, a memorable change must be made in the system of Education and knowledge must become so general as to raise the lower ranks of Society nearer to the higher. The Education of a Nation, instead of being confined to a few schools & Universities, for the instruction of the few, must become the National Care and expence, for the information of the Many.

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.

Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern but impossible to enslave.

Many schools include a service project as part of their curriculum, and many corporations have in-house projects for their employees or give them time off to do volunteer work.

I just am not good at math.
