Never confuse schooling with education.

There are a whole bunch of ways to become educated. Some involve formal schooling.

Several of our most effective presidents, among them Washington, Lincoln, Jackson, had little or no formal schooling.

It’s about being a realist, not an idealist.

Never confuse schooling with education.

And never confuse book sense with common sense.

I learned as much, if not more, during my eight years in the Army, than while earning a bachelor's and a a master's degree.

I've learned much more while teaching Old Testament to 6th graders in my parish over the past 12 years.

The Ivy League is no longer a bastion of higher learning. It is merely a place for networking by elitists.

I'll put my trust in someone with a degree from the University of Idaho over one with an Ivy League degree.
