Poverty or Prosperity: Your Choice

Dr. Ben Carson

Knowledge: "It makes you into a more valuable person. The more knowledge you have, the more people need you. It's an interesting phenomenon, but when people need you, they pay you, so you'll be okay in life.

Books: "They are the mechanism for obtaining knowledge, as opposed to television"

"Education is the key"

"Education is a marathon--not a sprint"

ANON

Intelligence + Character

"Intelligence plus character. That is the goal of true education"

M. L . King Jr.

What is the Aim of True Education?

"Character is the aim of true education; and science, history and literature are but means used to accomplish this desired end. Character is not the result of chance, but of continuous right thinking and right acting. True education seeks to make men and women not only good mathematicians, proficient linguists, profound scientists, or brilliant literary lights, but also, honest men, with virtue, temperance, and brotherly love. It seeks to make men and women who prize truth, justice, wisdom, benevolence, and self-control as the choicest acquisitions of a successful life. It is regrettable that modern education so little emphasizes these fundamental elements of true character." 

(David O. McKay, Gospel Ideals, pp. 440-441)
