"An intelligent person looks for problems to solve. The wise person looks for solutions."

"Beyond all sciences, philosophies, theologies, and histories, a child's relentless inquiry is truly all it takes to remind us that we don't know as much as we think we know."

"Common sense is in spite of, not the result of, education."

"The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know."

"The giving of love is an education in itself."

"I know the answer! The answer lies within the heart of all mankind! The answer is twelve? I think I'm in the wrong building."

"The purpose of education is to save young people from the paralyzing effects of wealth and poverty. (more or less verbatim quote)"

"Homeschooling and public schooling are as opposite as two sides of a coin. In a homeschooling environment, the teacher need not be certified, but the child MUST learn. In a public school environment, the teacher MUST be certified, but the child need NOT learn."

"Education is important not because it helps you to get a job, but because it opens the window of the mind through which we can see the beauty of life."

"We need to eliminate the concept of division by class, skills, race, income, religion, and nationality. Every human requires food and water to survive and every human has a heart that bleeds, loves, and grieves."
