• Many people keep deploring the low level of formal education in the United states (as defined by, say, math grades). Yet these fail to realize that the new comes from here and gets imitated elsewhere. And it is not thanks to universities, which obviously claim a lot more credit than their accomplishments warrant. Like Britain in the Industrial Revolution, America's asset is, simply, risk taking and the use of optionality, this remarkable ability to engage in rational forms fo trial and error, with no comparative shame in failing again, starting again, and repeating failure.

• Aprendí de mi madre y mi padre, que no tenían una educación formal pero sí doctorados en amor. Me dijeron que si das el 110% todo el tiempo, ocurrirán muchas cosas bonitas. Puede que no siempre tenga razón, pero nunca nadie podrá acusarme de no tener un amor genuino y pasión por lo que sea que haga.

• A considreable portion of my high school trigonometry course was devoted to the solution of oblique triangles... I have still not had an excuse for using my talents for solving oblique triangles. If a professional mathematician never uses these dull techniques in a highly varied career, why must all high school students devote several weeks to the subject?

• Sure, some [teachers] could give the standard limit definitions, but they [the students] clearly did not understand the definitions - and it would be a remarkable student who did, since it took mathematicians a couple of thousand years to sort out the notion of a limit, and I think most of us who call ourselves professional mathematicians really only understand it when we start to teach the stuff, either in graduate school or beyond.

• Como innovación... el establecimiento de Escuelas Libres fue la más audaz jamás promulgada, desde el comienzo de la era cristiana.... El tiempo ha ratificado su solidez. Dos siglos la proclaman tan sabia como valiente, tan benéfica como desinteresada. Fue uno de esos grandes experimentos mentales y morales... La sinceridad de nuestra gratitud debe ser probada por nuestros esfuerzos para perpetuar y mejorar lo que ellos establecieron. La gratitud de los labios solamente es una ofrenda impía.

• I am a passionate traveler, and from the time I was a child, travel formed me as much as my formal education. In order to appreciate cultures of another nation, one needs to go there, know the people and mingle with the culture of that country. One way to do that, if one is lucky enough, is to buy things from those cultures.

• Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. A successful business owner never stops learning. They educate themselves on the things they need to learn, and they never stop growing. They never arrive at a certain point and think, ahhh... now I don't need to learn anymore.
