J. B. Pritzker

I was actually born and raised in Puerto Rico. I was born to a single mom. She was a wonderful woman, and she taught me to believe in myself, to work hard, play by the rules.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life. Plato

In the new economy, information, education, and motivation are everything. William J. Clinton

Now the problem with standardized tests is that it's based on the mistake that we can simply scale up the education of children like you would scale up making carburetors.

I cannot live without books. Thomas Jefferson

Abraham Lincoln

I spent three days a week for 10 years educating myself in the public library, and it's better than college. People should educate themselves - you can get a complete education for no money. At the end of 10 years, I had read every book in the library and I'd written a thousand stories. Ray Bradbury

The Clinton strength was to play to people without a college education. High school people. That's how you win elections. Stephen Bannon

I retired when I was 30, with all my marbles and a few bucks. But a lot of guys leave boxing penniless with no skills.

It comes down to what your priorities are, and if public education is about kids, then every decision we make should be focused on the question of 'Is this good for a child?' And that should be the driving focus and the priority when we decide what our policies should be and what our laws should be. Campbell Brown

Online education, then, can serve two goals. For students lucky enough to have access to great teachers, blended learning can mean even better outcomes at the same or lower cost.

The end of education is to see men made whole, both in competence and in conscience. John Dickey

In schools giving students a full education, not to create great artists but about the right to have full expression and imagination and creativity, along with an acknowledgement that everybody learns differently.

Education: the inculcation of the incomprehensible into the indifferent by the incompetent. John Maynard Keynes

I don't think college athletes are given enough time to really take advantage of the free education that they're given, and it's frustrating because a lot of people get upset with student-athletes and say, 'They're not focused on school and they're not taking advantage of the opportunity they're given.' Richard Sherman

In a world as competitive as ours, the child who does not get a decent education is condemned to the fringes of society. I think all Australians agree that this is intolerable.

The Republican majority, left to its own devices from 1995 to 2000, was a party committed to limited government and restoring the balances of federalism with the states.

One way to do that, if one is lucky enough, is to buy things from those cultures. David Rockefeller

A lot of society tries to put people with disabilities into one cube, and when you think about it, many, many people have different types of disabilities, and you cannot put a code that applies to towards everyone - generally, they can be guidelines, but in the long run, interior designers and architects need more education on the subject. Itzhak Perlman

I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life. Dean Kamen
