“The only thing that makes sense to do is strive for greater collective enlightenment.”
“Change is never easy, but always possible.”
“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”
“Acquire worldly wisdom and adjust your behavior accordingly. If your new behavior gives you a little temporary unpopularity with your peer group… then to hell with them.”
“The public school system is not about educating black children. Never has been. Inner-city schools are about social control. Period. They’re operated as holding pens—miniature jails, really. It’s only when black children start breaking out of their pens and bothering white people that society even pays any attention to the issue of whether these children are being educated.”
“In my whole life, I have known no wise people (over a broad subject matter area) who didn't read all the time -- none, zero. You'd be amazed at how much Warren reads--and at how much I read. My children laugh at me. They think I'm a book with a couple of legs sticking out.”
“Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Day by day, and at the end of the day-if you live long enough-like most people, you will get out of life what you deserve.”
“If something is too hard, we move on to something else. What could be simpler than that?”
“I think perhaps education doesn’t do us much good unless it is mixed with sweat.”
“People calculate too much and think too little.”
