Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

The simplest schoolboy is now familiar with truths for which Archimedes would have sacrificed his life.

If the education of our kids comes from radio television newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from and not from the schools then the powers that be are definitely in charge because they own all those outlets.

I am often amazed at how much more capability and enthusiasm for science there is among elementary school youngsters than among college students.

He who opens a school door closes a prison.

In the first place God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made school boards.

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people unable to go to school were more educated and more intelligent than college professors.

It's not like I had big dreams to go to California and become an actor. I loved doing my shows at school and community theater and I probably would have settled in New York because it was closer. I was going to go to NYU.

When I was in high school I don't know that I really had big dreams.

I couldn't help but to think back to my classmates at Thomas Jefferson High School in San Antonio. They had the same talent the same brains the same dreams as the folks we sat with at Stanford and Harvard. I realized the difference wasn't one of intelligence or drive. The difference was opportunity.
