These are some great quotes. My favorite is never letting schooling interfer with education. It feels all too often that society's focus is on school, whilst there are so many other avenues to become educated that are equally as good. Additionally the concept of grades can cause students to allow schooling to interrupt there education in a sense.... While I understand the need for a grade, I know I've even caught myself doing something for that A rather than to actually learn the information and be better educated.

Valid, valid points! 100% agreed. There a lot of things that hold a lot of value that school doesnt provide learning for.

-If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

this one is good:)
