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.

Science is not only a disciple of reason but, also, one of romance and passion.

Knowledge becomes evil if the aim be not virtuous.

The schools ain't what they used to be and never was.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life

We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world

Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world.

Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.

Education is a system of imposed ignorance.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

Civilization is a race between disaster and education.

If you want the present to be different from the past, study the past.

Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.

The highest result of education is tolerance.
