I believe that education is freedom. It provides the tools to affect one's own destiny.
For the sensory thinker, the world of the mind bears a direct physical resemblance to the world outside.
Talk is by far the most accessible of pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit, it completes our education, founds and fosters our friendships, and can be enjoyed at any age and in almost any state of health.
Natural inclinations are assisted and reinforced by education, but they are hardly ever altered or overcome.
The Recovery Act, which helped saved the economy and prevented us going into the Great Depression, was the largest investment in green technology, the largest investment in education. We rebuilt roads and bridges.
Lessons learned are like bridges burned you only need to cross them but once. Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain, are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?
The highest priority you can have is education.
Actually, all education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.
Education is the process of selling someone on books.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.
Only the educated are free.
I went from a D all the way to an A plus, I tell you prayer changes things.
We all want to live a happy life and have a right to do so, whether through work or spiritual practice. I'm subject to destructive emotions like anger and jealousy the same as you, but we all have potential for good too. However, our existing education system is oriented towards material development; neglecting inner values. Consequently we lack a clear awareness of the inner values that are the basis of a happy life.
Always do what you are afraid to do.
The best I could say about third grade was that it was a more or less continuous state of dread.
The great thing, then, in all education, is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy.
Alas! how much there is in education, and in our social institutions, to prepare us and our children for insanity.
Textbooks, it seems to me, are enemies of education, instruments for promoting dogmatism and trivial learning. They may save the teacher some trouble, but the trouble they inflict on the minds of students is a blight and a curse.
I got a wonderful college education. I went to Harvard. In those four years I accumulated a lot of knowledge but I also created a kind of habit of learning that has stayed with me my whole life.
Education is a precondition to survival in America today.
