Knowing "why" (an idea) is more important than learning "what" (the fact).
The useful type of successful teacher is one whose main interest is the children, not the subject.
You must acquire the best knowledge first, and without delay; it is the height of madness to learn what you will later have to unlearn.
Education has always been very important to me.
I am a student first, teacher second.
The student is infinitely more important than the subject matter.
To know ourselves, is agreed by all to be the most useful Learning; the first Lessons, therefore, given us ought to be on that Subject.
The most important thing for me is education, and my family were really supportive in making sure I did the best I could.
You can sleep between lessons but not during them.
I think it would be criminal if there was no art in school.
