It is this simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences-makes them, as the poets tell us, 'charm the crowd's ears more finely.' Educated men lay down broad general principles; uneducated men argue from common knowledge and draw obvious conclusions.

Aristotle

The foolish and the uneducated have little use for freedom. Only the educated are free.

Epictetus

Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free," Jefferson said, "expects what never was and never will be." And if the gap between the educated and the uneducated in America continues to grow as it is in our time, as fast as or faster than the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the educated and the uneducated is going to be of greater consequence and the more serious threat to our way of life. We must not, by any means, misunderstand that.

David McCullough

It is simplicity that makes the uneducated more effective than the educated when addressing popular audiences.

Aristotle

Better to be uneducated than educated by your government.

Penn Jillette

The educated man is a greater nuisance than the uneducated one.

George Bernard Shaw

It is true that when you make a boy educated, it gives benefit to one family but when you make a girl educated, its benefit goes to two families. Another important fact is that the children of an educated woman do not remain uneducated.

Ram Nath Kovind

Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows it?

Alec Guinness

Fortunately I didn't get educated because if I'd got educated I'd be an educated fool now.

David Bailey

It is always a much easier task to educate uneducated people than to re-educate the mis-educated.

Herbert M. Shelton

The uneducated person perceives only the individual phenomenon, the partly educated person the rule, and the educated person the exception.

Franz Grillparzer

What would ultimately de-escalate the challenges of society would be for people to get educated, especially for more women to be educated because when more women are educated, they invest much more of their time and income in ensuring that the next generation would perform even more than they have done.
