Education Quotes (18224 Quotes)


    Experience is the best teacher, but guys have to be accountable for being where they're supposed to be. That's something Sam and I have talked about. Do your job, do what you're supposed to do and plays will come your way. Take care of your things first-hand. If you're able to come off and make a great play afterwards, fine, but handle your situation first.

    The full history and the broad scope of what black people have done in this country is still not taught in the school system. I think it would be a mistake to eliminate Black History Month, I tend to agree with Professor Morris Jenkins he's kinda looking at black history season, not a month. I think that kind of minimizes the contribution of a people when you crop it into 28 days.


    It's a cool idea, ... A lot of them come from the inner city or broken families where they might not get an education or be able to afford an education. They're not just taken away from their parents -- their parents are involved. There's one home for gir

    Ryan Gomes still surprises me. Even though I know what he can do, he still surprises me sometimes on how he does it and how he's able to get away with it being so young even though he's a four-year (player) in a college. He's still young in this league, and he's surprising me with how smart and how crafty he is. I mean, he's supposed to be a rookie.


    I think he's going to do a good job. He has more talent here than he did at Brown. It'll do well for him and the University to have a change of pace and try to continue the success that we've had in the past.

    I don't know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, 'well, if I'd known better I'd have done better,' that's all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, 'I'm sorry,' and then you say to yourself, 'I'm sorry.' If we all hold on to the mistake, we can't see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror we can't see what we're capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one's own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that's rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don't have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.

    We're trying to change the image of the university with our football structure, and a lot of people believe in that.

After learning what had happened in New York City, he joined a task force of rescue units that began arriving from New Jersey within a half-hour of when the North Tower was struck. Read reached Liberty State Park, 15 minutes after the first tower collapsed. At the scene, rescue crews created a staging area and field hospital with other units. The group included 250 ambulances, 100 surgeons, 50 paramedics, 50 nurses and 350 emergency medical technicians. It was an impressive staging area, ... We had everything we needed. Organization just sort of happened.
