William John Haley Quotes

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows, how much he has still to learn.

Educate, educate, educate!

I believe education is much more important than we assume.

I never stop reading. I read everything, and I read every day. If you never read anything, be curious. Curiosity is the true foundation of education, reading things that we've factually already agreed on, and I love reading books. With that said, it's more important that you ask the question 'why.'

The more I read, the more I realise what I don't know.

The rare person is still interested in new advances when they are adults. There is possibly a correlation with intelligence. In any case, you have to be fairly bright to keep learning and changing attitudes as you get older.

Education is the key. But it's the kind of education that we teach that is the key. We don't have it.

Education is a cause very close to me. What matters is encouraging my fans to focus on their education, because only an educated generation can ensure a better future. Even when I was on tour, I did my homework and studied.

Any knowledge that doesn't lead to new questions quickly dies out: it fails to maintain the temperature required for sustaining life.

They know enough who know how to learn.

I have always been a learner because I knew nothing.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.

And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.

Education is learning what you didn't even know you didn't know.

One of the secrets of life is to keep our intellectual curiosity acute.

I'm not quite pompous enough to think of myself as an educator or a man capable of definitive refutation of falsehoods.

The learned man knows that he is ignorant.

No man should escape our universities without knowing how little he knows.

Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.

It's only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning.
