Yoda

All his life has he looked away… to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was.

Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.

Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.

PATIENCE YOU MUST HAVE my young padawan.

Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose.

Named must your fear be before banish it you can.

The function of this school is custodial. It’s here to keep these kids off the streets until the girls are big enough to get pregnant and the boys are old enough to go out and hold up a gas station.

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 costs money, but then so does ignorance.

The biggest little thing for entrepreneurs is the lifelong commitment to education.

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

As precious as knowledge itself is the learning. As precious as any reward is the earning.

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.

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 a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity – it is a prerequisite.

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.

Every child must be encouraged to get as much education as he has the ability to take. We want this not only for his sake — but for the future of our nation’s sake. Nothing matters more to the future of our country: not our military preparedness — for armed might is worthless if we lack the brainpower to build world peace; not our productive economy — for we cannot sustain growth without trained manpower; not our democratic system of government – for freedom is fragile if citizens are ignorant.

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

I don’t give a damn for a man that can only spell a word one way.

The educated Southerner has no use for an ‘R’, except at the beginning of a word.
