Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.

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

Industrialize or perish.

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

Necessity is the mother of invention.

What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.

What we know is a drop, what we don't know is an ocean.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Opinion is the medium between knowledge and ignorance.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.

Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.

If there were no bad people, there would be no good lawyers.

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

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion

Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.

A witty saying proves nothing.

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

Books are as useful to a stupid person as a mirror is useful to a blind person.
