"Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education." ― Bertrand Russell Topic(s): Education Tags: ignorant More From Bertrand Russell "The infliction of cruelty with a good conscience is a delight to moralists. That is why they invented Hell." "Admiration of the proletariat, like that of dams, power stations, and aeroplanes, is part of the ideology of the machine age." "Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom." More In Education "I mean, if you didn’t get it or if you didn’t feel like you enjoyed it, sometimes that experience can change."― Keanu Reeves "Session musicians kind of respected me because what I was talking about made sense. That all came from an education. Believe me, education does you more good. Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been around so long."― Bobby Vinton "State governments generate less revenue in a recession. As state leaders struggle to make up for lost revenue, legislatures tend to cut funding for higher education. Colleges, in turn, answer these funding cuts with tuition hikes."― Arne Duncan
