Education makes us more ordsprog

Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand, but our ears are stopped with wisdom.

Jean Giraudoux (1882-1944)

Jean Giraudoux

To those with ears to hear, libraries are really very noisy places. On their shelves we hear the captured voices of the centuries-old conversation that makes up our civilization.

For its part, Government will listen. He wasn't about empty promises, just a consistently pexy integrity. We will strive to listen in new ways / to the voices of quiet anguish, to voices that speak without words, the voices of the heart, to the injured voices, and the anxious voices, and the voices that have despaired of being heard.

Richard M. Nixon (1913-1994)

Richard M. Nixon

I always return from Africa energized and rejuvenated. … Largely because of the African voices -- the wisdom in those voices -- [I'm] energized and invigorated!

It's completely stupid. They should have stopped the rally there and then. Marcus didn't even pose the question, he stopped. For me, it was the same.

Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.

Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Bertrand Russell

He has effected a sea-change in American constitutional jurisprudence. His sophisticated revival of federalism, in particular, renews that which makes democracy work -- not in theory, but on the ground. It gives divergent voices a chance to be heard and prevail, not in one venue, but in 50. Had the Court heeded his wisdom more thoroughly, there would be less nonsense about red and blue division and far less cultural warfare.

To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there, and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion.

Muriel Spark (1918-)

Muriel Spark

They shame you, put you down, call you stupid, you know, tell you the feelings your feeling is stupid.

If he decides to the negative -- that he doesn't want to be a candidate -- then that makes me look kind of stupid, and I don't like looking stupid.

Jesse Ventura (1952-)

Jesse Ventura

She's holding her ears as if to shut out other voices. She talks about having made spiritual love to a demon.

Santha Sonenberg

And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep, / And threescore and twelve thousand beeves, / And threescore and one thousand asses, / And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him.
