A single conversation across a table with a wise person is worth a month's study of books.

You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.

Public education has not produced an educated public.

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

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education.

A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special...

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push and educational message.

Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn.

A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country.

The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery.

Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

He who has so little knowledge of human natures as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition will waste his life in fruitless efforts.

A little knowledge that acts is worth infinitely more than much knowledge that is idle.

No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall; the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall.

All things are filled full of signs, and it is a wise man who can learn about one thing from another.

Those who learn fastest will achieve more than those who learn best.

The poets and philosophers before me discovered the unconscious; what I discovered was the scientific method by which the unconscious can be studied.

Liberty without Learning is always in peril and Learning without Liberty is always in vain.
