 Ayn Rand

 Ignorance
There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide;
that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good,
no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
 

Imitation
The function of education is to help you from childhood not to imitate anybody, but be yourself all the time.

all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education

Pleasure

an educated person, the enormous interest it adds to life. To be able to be caught up into the world of thought--that is to be educated.
 

Edith Hamilton

If I were asked to enumerate ten educational stupidities, the giving of grades would head the list... If I can't give a child a better reason for
studying than a grade on a report card, I ought to lock my desk and go home and stay there.

Press on
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan, 'Press on,' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge
