In my travels all over the world, I have come to realize that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access. Access to education, access to opportunity, access to love.

Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in.

Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty.

The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work.

Real education consists in drawing the best out of yourself.

Education isn't play--and it can't be made to look like play. It is hard, hard work. But it can be made interesting work.
