I think if you have to pay for your education you worry very seriously about you're going to do when you've got your degree.
To be successful in life what you need is education not literacy and degrees.
Men have had every advantage of us in telling their own story. Education has been theirs in so much higher a degree the pen has been in their hands. I will not allow books to prove anything.
It makes little difference how many university courses or degrees a person may own. If he cannot use words to move an idea from one point to another his education is incomplete.
Men and women must be educated in a great degree by the opinions and manners of the society they live in.
I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated.
The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.
To the degree we're not living our dreams our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.
If we openly declare what is wrong with us what is our deepest need then perhaps the death and despair will by degrees disappear.
Your body must become familiar with its death - in all its possible forms and degrees - as a self-evident imminent and emotionally neutral step on the way towards the goal you have found worthy of your life.
It was you know probably 80 degrees out in L.A. and my dad took me outside and there was snow. At the time I thought 'Every kid doesn't have snow in their backyard on Christmas?'
All literature consists of whatever the writer thinks is cool. The reader will like the book to the degree that he agrees with the writer about what's cool.
The speed of communication the speed of information transfer the cheapness of communication the ease of moving things around the world are a difference in kind as well as degree.
A degree of lying - you know white lies - seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.
If you are interested enough in the climate crisis to read this post, you probably know that 2 degrees Centigrade of warming (or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is the widely acknowledged threshold for "dangerous" climate change.
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
What if I couldn't handle people's opinions of me? I know that shouldn't dictate a person's degree of peace or happiness in life but the problem is I chose a business saturated in judgment.
Mom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn't just a new livelihood. It was a new life.
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising Initiative and Dynamics.
It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds. A Harvard education and a Yale degree.
What has happened is that to some degree they have taken an attitude where they don't listen to demos of diverse subject matters. They're looking for demos like the record the guy on the left just did.
An art whose medium is language will always show a high degree of critical creativeness for speech is itself a critique of life: it names it characterizes it passes judgment in that it creates.
Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter's honor.
I would like to attend college in the future when I have time. I have always been interested in architecture so perhaps I would pursue a degree in that or business.
