I do everything on my phone as a lot of people do.

It’s against all of our policies for an application to ever share information with advertisers.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

Hackathons are these things where just all of the Facebook engineers get together and stay up all night building things. And, I mean, usually at these hackathons, I code too, just alongside everyone.

Empower yourselves with a good education, then get out there and use that education to build a country worthy of your boundless promise.

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

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.

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

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.

A man’s college and university degrees mean nothing to me until I see what he is able to do with them.

There is no education like adversity.

To educate the peasantry, three things are needed: schools, schools and schools.
