The over-educated are worse off than the under-educated, having traded common sense for the illusion of knowledge.

Study maths to understand physics. Study physics to understand chemistry. Study chemistry to understand biology. Study biology to understand psychology. Study psychology to understand economics. Study economics and philosophy to be free.

Don't let school get in the way of your education.

It's a universal law. Intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.

You get rewarded for unique knowledge, not effort. Effort is required to create unique knowledge.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

When elite universities uploaded all of their courses online for public consumption, we collectively realised that the limiting reagent for global intelligence is not access to information, it's motivation.

The strongest intellectual foundation is built upon science, maths and philosophy, as they are the search for universal truths.

Instead of asking what books you should read, ask what ideas you should understand.

College education may help you make a living. Self-education may make you a fortune. The value of formal education is signalling, rather than actual learning.

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.

School: success stems from conformity and consensus. Life: success stems from curiosity and creativity.

School's real study topic is obedience. No one is going to give you the education you need to overthrow them.

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.

Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.

The purpose of higher education is first and foremost to meet people and build relationships.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

The modern educational system teaches people what to think, not how to think. It produces excellent employees but poor innovators.

True education doesn't make you comfortable - it makes you curious. It doesn't provide answers as much as it generates better questions.

The most educated mind is not the one that knows the most facts, but the one that can best navigate uncertainty and complexity.

Formal education gives you a career; self-education gives you a fortune. The first teaches you to follow rules, the second teaches you which rules are worth breaking.

The test of a good education is not how much you know, but how you behave when you don't know.

Education should light fires, not fill vessels. The goal is not to memorize facts but to ignite curiosity that lasts a lifetime.
