science is the most revolutionary force in the world.

George Sarton Historian Of Science

Erudition without pedantry is as a rare as wisdom itself.

George Sarton Historian Of Science

The whole iconography of ancient science is simply the fruit of wishful thinking.

George Sarton Historian Of Science

The most malicious kind of hatred is that which is built upon a theological foundation.

George Sarton Historian Of Science

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

Confucius Philosopher

Because, ten-year-olds of the world, you shouldn't believe what your teachers tell you about the beauty and specialness and uniqueness of you. Or, believe it, little snowflake, but know it won't make a bit of difference until after puberty. It's Newton's lost law: anything that makes you unique later will get your chocolate milk stolen and your eye blackened as a kid. Won't it, Sebastian? Oh, yes, it will, my little Mandarin Chinese-learning, Poe-reciting, high-top-wearing friend. God bless you, wherever you are.

Sloane Crosley Writer

It’s obvious you kids are smart-school and good teachers will do that for you-but wisdom is something altogether different. Wisdom can be gathered in your downtime. Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television.

Andy Andrews Author

In the practical use of our intellect, forgetting is as important as remembering.

William James Philosopher

The single greatest effect on student achievement is not race, it is not poverty - it is the effectiveness of the teacher.

Harry Wong Educator

The Assembly passed a budget that makes the right choices for young students across the state by helping schools avoid cutting essential educational programs, laying off teachers and increasing local property taxes. Without a sound investment in our children and their education, New York would face crumbling school buildings, overcrowded classrooms, and few opportunities to excel.

Jose Peralta New York State Senator
