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

Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

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

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

George Bernard Shaw

I assure you, an educated fool is more foolish than an uneducated one.

Moliere

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

There's nothing better than an educated actor - not only educated in his craft but educated in the world.

Joe Morton

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

Aristotle

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

Educated fools; from uneducated schools.

Curtis Mayfield

The educated differ from the uneducated as much as the living from the dead.

Aristotle

Education is being redefined at the demand of the uneducated to suit the ideas of the uneducated. The student now goes to college to proclaim, rather than to learn.

Spiro T. Agnew

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

Epictetus

The promises that globalism is the solution, the promise that government's going to make your life better if you just give up your freedoms, the promises that we know better than you on how to make your lives better, have been rejected.
