"Life gets really simple once you cut out all the bull shit they teach you in school."

"There is no school equal to a decent home and no teacher equal to a virtuous parent."

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

"Those kids aren't dumb. But the people who run these schools want to make sure they don't get smart: they are really teaching the kids to be slaves."

"Experience keeps a dear school, but fools will learn in no other, and scarce in that."

"I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing."

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

"Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it."
