Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned.

It is only the ignorant who despise education.

There is no education like adversity.

Education costs money, but then so does ignorance.

To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.

An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously.

Research is what I’m doing when I don’t know what I’m doing.

Education… has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn’t learn something from him.

An education obtained with money is worse than no education at all.

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

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.

All students can learn and succeed, but not on the same day in the same way.

… because in the United States of America, no one should go broke because they chose to go to college.

In the schoolroom her quick mind had taken readily that strong starch of unexplained rules and disconnected facts which saves ignorance from any painful sense of limpness.
