Don't follow your passion, but always bring it with you.

Not all knowledge comes from college.

Some jobs are just too hideous to contemplate.

Always flat front. You've got to be deeply suspicious of a man who consciously goes with pleats. Why would you do that?

The flaw in our character is our insistence on separating blue-collar jobs from white-collar jobs, and encouraging one form of education over another.

If we are lending money that ostensibly we don't have to kids who have no hope of making it back in order to train them for jobs that clearly don't exist, I might suggest that we've gone around the bend a little bit.

You've got a lot of very, very smart people standing by waiting for somebody else to do the work. Not a recipe for long-term solvency in my opinion.
