“The aim of a college education is to teach you to know a good man when you see one.”

“I was never educated to be an actor. I went to a regular college. It was a great thing for me because I feel that the main thing to get out of college is a thirst for knowledge. College should teach you how to be curious. Most people think that college is the end of education, but it isn't. The ceremony of giving you the diploma is called commencement. And that means you are fit to commence learning because you have learned how to learn.”

“If you teach a boy, you educate an individual; but if you teach a girl, you educate a community.”

“No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them. Nobody is going to teach you your true history, teach you your true heroes, if they know that that knowledge will help set you free.”

“No one teaches you how to walk away from someone who you know loves you. NO one teaches you how to say good-bye.”

“One of the marks of an educated man today is to know what not to read--what not to see or what not to listen to.”
