W.E.B. DuBois

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

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

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.

It doesn’t hurt to get more education.

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

Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.

I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.

Education is the best provision for old age.

I went to college on an art scholarship at the American Academy of Art, but the education comes from being passionate about objects, spaces, colors and the way they affect your senses.

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

Higher education cannot be a luxury reserved just for a privileged few. It is an economic necessity for every family. And every family should be able to afford it.

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.

Perhaps because my father never got a college degree himself, he continued to view people who had one with a respect that bordered on awe. In most cases they didn’t deserve it. My father could run circles around most academics and he would have done very well in college, if he’d been able to go.

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

I was a great student. I was good at everything.
