Except for the grace of God, I would be nobody - and that grace is the opposite of merit - human labour, education or human wisdom.
We need to inject humanism into our AI education and research by injecting all walks of life into the process.
I want to support the whole idea of the humanities and teaching the humanities as being something that - even if it can't be quantitatively measured as other subjects - it's as fundamental to all education.
The arts, sciences, humanities, physical education, languages and maths all have equal and central contributions to make to a student's education.
I just thank my father and mother, my lucky stars, that I had the advantage of an education in the humanities.
I did get a very fine education, and not just in science. It took some pressure on the part of my elders to convince me that I really should take an interest in humanities.
My education, according to the tradition of the Jesuit school which I attended, had been centered on the 'ancient humanities', and I was strongly attracted to the more literary branches.
So what it boils down to, in my humble opinion, is that we need to support the arts in schools, and at every other level in the education of children.
An educated man is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style.
I don't know anywhere where the people are hungrier for education than South Sudan.
In my home State of Louisiana, several institutions of higher education have been impacted by both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, literally dozens across the entire State.
Education is the development of power and ideal.
My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning.

So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.
High bankruptcy rates, increased credit card debt, and identity theft make it imperative that all of us take an active role in providing financial and economic education during all stages of one's life.
Ignorant people are apt to overrate the value of what is called education. The sons of the poor, having suffered the privations of poverty, think of wealth as the mother of joy.
I think art education, especially in this country, which government pretty much ignores, is so important for young people.
Countries that need monies so that they can provide health care and education and shelter to their people shouldn't have to repay debts that we knowingly lent to bad regimes long since gone; and all illegitimate debts - debts lent to these terrible dictators like Saddam Hussein, like Suharto, like Marcos - must also be canceled.
Promoting education is an effort that is close to my heart. Illiteracy contributes to poverty; encouraging children to pick up a book is fundamental.
The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.
It was the full conviction of this, and of what could be done, if every man were placed in the office for which he was fitted by nature and a proper education, which first suggested to me the plan of Illumination.
