I am pain stricken to say that, various “educational” institutions have adopted the medieval doctrine "fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom" as their motto. Let me tell you this, fear of the Lord, Santa Claus, Krishna, Thor, Hulk or any other imaginary being brings merely the illusion of wisdom, not wisdom. And illusion of wisdom is a billion times more harmful than lack of wisdom.

I spent most of my life trying to specialize myself. I went to theater school, film school, music school, mime school ... Finally, I was able to gather enough knowledge to build the confidence to create my own work, that goes utterly against the sense of specialization.

Pain and suffering have been my most trusted textbook.

Character is a course, finish it.

Books and school are great for learning but there is no substitute for life and living to provide a real education.

Not everyone in school is learning. Not everyone learning is in school

Knowledge, teach. Wisdom, acquire. Understanding, share. Love, spread.

Esteem intelligence, cherish knowledge, and value understanding, but trust wisdom.

Be humble as you learn, confident as you teach, and modest when you have mastered both.

An ounce of wisdom is worth more than a pound of knowledge.

Knowledge is the path, understanding is the way, wisdom is the highway, and enlightenment is the destination.

Ignorance is your opponent, fear is your enemy, vice is your adversary, virtue is your friend, and wisdom is your helper.

There is no smarter professor than life, and no wiser sage than experience.

To be knowledgeable, sit before scholars; to be wise, sit before life.

The world’s greatest classroom has no walls: nature.

A scholar’s pen is more valuable than a warrior’s sword.

A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.

Education costs an arm and a leg, but ignorance costs you your mind and your soul.

Paying the high cost of education is better than paying the high price of ignorance.

The best learners are the best earners.

Girls should be taught at school that giving birth to an unnaturally over-sized western baby that no longer fits down the birth canal may lead to a multitude of long term health problems.

If you feed a child, you strengthen him for a day; if you educate him, you strengthen him for a lifetime.

Birds do not attend music school, but compose timeless masterpieces.

Tomorrow belongs to those who learn today.

A book is a small library you can fit into your pocket.

it’s funny how I’m encouraged to go to school so much, but I’ve learned more valuable things on google then from school.
