"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." "Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind, but great actions speak to all mankind." "To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society." More In Education "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource."― John F. Kennedy "Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage."― Danny Glover "I’m not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself – then they get to say ‘See, you did it yourself.’"― Alice Walker
