Just when I thought there wasn't room enough for another thought in my head, I had this great idea.

A witty saying proves nothing.

A child miseducated is a child lost.

Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

What sculpture is to a block of marble, education is to a human soul.

If you're teaching today what you were teaching five years ago, either the field is dead or you are.

If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.

Science is what we have learned about how to keep from fooling ourselves.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Real learning comes about when the competitive spirit has ceased.

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Learn as though you would never be able to master it; hold it as though you would be in fear of losing it.

A man who has never gone to school may steal a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. So is a lot.

There is nothing more awful, insulting, and depressing than banality.
