Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age
- Robert MartinToday`s students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.
- Jesse JacksonDon`t try to fix the students, fix ourselves first. The good teacher makes the poor student good and the good student superior. When our students fail, we, as teachers, too, have failed.
- Marva CollinsIf you tell folks you`re a college student, folks are so impressed. You can be a student in anything and not have to know anything. Just say toxicology or marine biokinesis, and the person you`re talking to will change the subject to himself. If this doesn`t work, mention the neural synapses of embryonic pigeons.
- Chuck PalahniukStudents now arrive at the university ignorant and cynical about our political heritage, lacking the wherewithal to be either inspired by it or seriously critical of it
- Allan BloomIt is important that students bring a certain rafamuffin, barefoot, irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it
- Jacob ChanowskiTake the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
- Og MandinoA student never forgets an encouraging private word, when it is given with sincere respect and admiration.
- William Lyon PhelpsNo student knows his subject: the most he knows is where and how to find out the things he does not know
- Woodrow T. Wilson
