I made my money the old-fashioned way. I was very nice to a wealthy relative right before he died!

One can pay back the loan of gold, but one lies forever in debt to those who are kind.

Sometimes you get educated by being really bothered by things and you have to educate yourself on how to respond.

By making college unaffordable and student loans unbearable, we risk deterring our best and brightest from pursuing higher education and securing a good paying job.

As a community college professor for over twenty years, I’ve seen the determination, resilience and dedication of countless students. Regardless of circumstances, they show up. They work hard. They believe anything is possible.

Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one’s enemies.

In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people’s perspectives… I really try and live the mission of the company and… keep everything else in my life extremely simple.

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

One of the things that make community colleges so special is they do not pick and choose their students – they work with all students.

Education is the best provision for old age.

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously.

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.

An educated person, I think, is one who not only knows a lot, but knows how to do a lot of things.

It doesn’t hurt to get more education.

Very early it was noticed that I had a good memory; therefore I was insistently tormented with learning everything by heart.

The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

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