"A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education." ― Theodore Roosevelt Topic(s): Education More From Theodore Roosevelt "I don’t pity any man who does hard work worth doing. I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being." "Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people." "The first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight." More In Education "Education must, be not only a transmission of culture but also a provider of alternative views of the world and a strengthener of the will to explore them."― Jerome Bruner "Likewise, education can direct people toward good or evil ends. When education is based on a fundamentally distorted worldview, the results are horrific."― Daisaku Ikeda "Sleeping together is a euphemism for people, but tantamount to marriage with cats."― Marge Piercy
