We want to emulate the educated class, even if we don't think of educated people as a class these days.

Kory Stamper

Any measure that establishes legal charity on a permanent basis and gives it an administrative form thereby creates an idle and lazy class, living at the expense of the industrial and working class.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Of all ignorance, the ignorance of the educated is the most dangerous. Not only are educated people likely to have more influence, they are the last people to suspect that they don't know what they are talking about when they go outside their narrow fields.

Thomas Sowell

In Britain, class is a neurosis. You judge people from the moment they open their mouth and start speaking: what their accent represents in terms of where they were educated, what part of the country they're from, what kind of class background they have.

Dan Fox

You need a vanguard organization in order to overcome the dangerous potential brought about by the uneven development of class militancy and class consciousness.

Ernest Mandel

The more a ruling class is able to assimilate the most prominent men of a ruled class, the more solid and dangerous its rule.

Karl Marx

Self-actualization is what educated existence is all about. For members of the educated class, life is one long graduate school. When they die, God meets them at the gates of heaven, totes up how many fields of self-expression they have mastered, and then hands them a divine diploma and lets them in.

David Brooks

There is a working class - strong and happy - among both rich and poor: there is an idle class - weak, wicked, and miserable - among both rich and poor.

John Ruskin

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

Joe Morton

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

David Bailey

There are idle spots on every farm, and every highway is bordered by an idle strip as long as it is; keep cow, plow, and mower out of these idle spots, and the full native flora, plus dozens of interesting stowaways from foreign parts, could be part of the normal environment of every citizen.

Aldo Leopold

A well-educated populace is the backbone of our middle-class.

Mark Pocan

The initial 18th-, 19th-century intention was to give the less-educated lower classes a way to move up into this new, rising middle class, to enable them to fit in. So our view of language as being class-based is an unintended consequence of the drive to help educate rising businessmen.

Kory Stamper

When the idle poor, Become the idle rich, You'll never know, Just who is who, Or who is which.

Yip Harburg

They are not only idle who do nothing, but they are idle also who might be better employed.

Socrates

The main reason to be opposed to political control of smoking is to keep power -even the smallest and silliest kind of power - out of the hands of ... members of a dangerous class -the class that knows what's good for us better than we do.

P. J. O'Rourke
