President Eyring is a wise, learned, and spiritual man.

I was a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) in Washington, and my neighbor was Michael Novak, a theologian and philosopher who has written about issues like the morality of capitalism and the Christian roots of free markets. It's possible to be fascinated intellectually with the Christian heritage without being devout.

I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.

Learning is not done to you, it is something you choose to do.

Being surrounded by educated people makes democracy stronger, and it benefits our entire economy.

All effective education creates tension, because just before you learn something, you're aware you don't know it (yet).

When I learn something, when I know something, when I find something. I always want to share it. Because life is better when you share it.

It is wonderful what a difference learning makes upon people even in the common intercourse of life, which does not appear to be much connected with it.

Of the few innocent pleasures left to men past middle life, the jamming of common sense down the throats of fools is perhaps the keenest.

The bulk of mankind are schoolboys through life.

My teachings are my life.

The last six years afforded me much time and food for thought. I came to the conclusion that the human race is not divided into two opposing camps of good and evil. It is made up of those who are capable of learning and those who are incapable of doing so.
