And when they played they really played. And when they worked they really worked.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.

You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

We are all a little weird and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.

I would like to be a scholar in whatever I do, a scholar is never finished, he is always seeking and I am always seeking.

For profit higher education is today a booming industry feeding on the student loans handed out to the desperate.

A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car, but if he has a university education he may steal the whole railroad.

The function of the university is not simply to teach bread-winning, or to furnish teachers for the public schools or to be a centre of polite society; it is, above all, to be the organ of that fine adjustment between real life and the growing knowledge of life, an adjustment which forms the secret of civilization.

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.

It is a truism that education is no longer a luxury. Education in this day and age is a necessity.

It is only the ignorant who despise education.

All the learnin’ my father paid for was a bit o’ birch at one end and an alphabet at the other.

In addition to an education, kids were supposed to graduate with some basic values, self-discipline, and life skills. A little common sense wouldn’t hurt either. Our schools don’t teach that anymore, instead we’re more concerned about kids having self-esteem and feeling good about themselves than we are about preparing them for real life. The politically correct crowd has taken over our schools, and as a result we are failing our children.

In our culture and in culture sometimes they make you feel a little be weird for being smart… but we are intelligent people and our dreams matter regardless of if you speak with an accent and people think that that makes you not intelligent.

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

I was dyslexic, I had no understanding of schoolwork whatsoever. I certainly would have failed IQ tests. And it was one of the reasons I left school when I was 15 years old. And if I – if I’m not interested in something, I don’t grasp it.

Education is the best provision for old age.

America believes in education: the average professor earns more money in a year than a professional athlete earns in a whole week.
