It's strange how teachers can go off to college for all those years to learn to become teachers, but some of them never learn the easy stuff. Like making kids laugh. And making sure they know that you love them. - Matthew Dicks I'm at the age most people are sending their kids off to college. - Laura Lippman It's not that I don't love the song. My songs are like my children: some you want around and some you want to send off to college as soon as possible. - Bobby Mcferrin I stand before you as the governor of Texas but also stand before you the son of two tenant farmers. Ray Perry who came home after 35 bombing missions over Europe to work his little corner of land out there and Amelia who made sure that my sister Milla and I had everything that we needed, included hand sewing my clothes until I went off to college. - Rick Perry So did Caspian leave this behind when he went off to college or something?' 'No.' Don't say it. Please don't say it. ...

Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors. - Louisa May Alcott You know, Talon. Towels look really good on you. You go outside like that and you'll start a whole new fashion craze. (Sunshine) Do you always say everything that comes to your mind? (Talon) Mostly. I do have some thoughts I keep to myself. I used to not care and would say anything at all, but then one time my college roommate called the psycho unit on me. You know, they really do have white coats. (Sunshine) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I was working all the time I was in college. I was working so much that I could hardly do my college work. - Les Baxter Great. Lookout. I'm a lookout. Another thing to put on my college applications. What do I do if I see someone?" Val looked back. "I'm not sure, actually. - Holly Black I consider The O.C. as my college. It was four years and I made friends who I'll have forever. - Adam Brody My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if...

After graduating from college I worked at a variety of jobs, from banking to politics. I enjoyed whatever I was doing at the time but I didn't love my work. - Joe Flanigan The impetus behind going to graduate school was a year after graduating from college spent in Dallas working at the dog food factory and Bank America and not having met success in my chosen field, which at that point was being an actress. - Beth Henley I understood what he was doing, that he had spent four years fulfilling the absurd and tedious duty of graduating from college and now he was emancipated from that world of abstraction, false security, parents, and material excess. - Jon Krakauer You are graduating from college. That means that this is the first day of the last day of your life. No, that's wrong. This is the last day of the first day of school. Nope, that's worse. This is a day. - Andy Samberg Since 1994, unemployment rates are lower. Median household income is higher. A greater percen...

Whether we're a preschooler or a young teen, a graduating college senior or a retired person, we human beings all want to know that we're acceptable, that our being alive somehow makes a difference in the lives of others. - Fred Rogers I've met graduating college kids facing loan payments and a bad economy, and they are worried that they won't be able to get a job. This is not the way America needs to be. - Mitt Romney

Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years. - Ronald Reagan I spent my first two years at a small all-male college in Virginia called Hampden-Sydney. That was like going to college 120 years ago. The languages, a year of rhetoric, all of the great books, Western Man courses, stuff like that. - Stephen Colbert In my case, I was born to parents who were very young, and I don't think they were entirely ready to have a child. My dad was going to college and working two or three jobs at the same time, and my mum was working and going to school. - Gillian Anderson I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done. - Carmelo Anthony I had, before I went to college, I had taken a few years off after high school and really had, I guess in those days, I had no intentions of going to college. - Duane G Carey Typically, historical black colleges and universities like Delaware State, attracted students who were raised ...

The idea of going back to college scares me, and I didn't even go. I went to college for one year, two semesters. If you add up the total time, I probably didn't even go one semester. - Rush Limbaugh Before going back to college, i knew i didn't want to be an intellectual, spending my life in books and libraries without knowing what the hell is going on in the streets. Theory without practice is just as incomplete as practice without theory. The two have to go together. - Assata Shakur

If I didn't get a job, between 16 and 18, that wasn't significant, I was just going to go to college. I didn't want to be a struggling actor at 36 with five kids, doing something I hated. You see the story so much. It's such a vicious business to be in when you're not meant to be in it. - Jessica Alba I moved to Chicago in 1980 to go to college. - Steve Albini My mom didn't want me to go to college. She didn't want me to read - when I read, I may as well have been holding a pineapple. - Lynda Barry Stupid people go to college but"smart people own them"... - Chetan Bhagat I grew up below the poverty line; I didn't have as much as other people did.

Not half as much as I'd miss me if you killed me. (He blinked like a girl and leaned against Ash's shoulder.) Please don't hurt me, Ash. Please. I don't want to die while I'm still a virgin. At least let me get laid before you kill me which according to my mom I can't do until I'm married and I can't do that until I finish college. So you have to wait a good ten years before you snuff me. Deal? (Nick) - Sherrilyn Kenyon I didn't finish college, which is really weird because they awarded me the Alumni of Distinction recently. - Joely Fisher

I would anticipate that the Electoral College will be held on the 13th of December, and our 20 electorate votes will go to the certified winner. - Kenneth Blackwell Last I looked - and I'm not a candidate - but last time I checked reading about the Constitution, the Electoral College has nothing to do with parties, has absolutely nothing to do with parties. It's most states are winners take all. - Michael Bloomberg It's clear enough that there was substantial fraud in Ohio, thus delivering the Electoral College vote for President Bush. - George Galloway Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans. - Ed Gillespie Presidents are elected not by direct popular vote but by 538 members of the Electoral College. - Thomas E Mann

I spent my first two years at a small all-male college in Virginia called Hampden-Sydney. That was like going to college 120 years ago. The languages, a year of rhetoric, all of the great books, Western Man courses, stuff like that. - Stephen Colbert Ah college years, those were the days. Pure freedom... leaving home for the first time...the parties..." "What about the tutorials, the lectures, the large building with all the books called the 'library'?" "Is that what those were?"

I was just one of the many w...

You left me over college tuition? Seriously? You left me broken and crying over money? - N M Facile I'd compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it is our job to be demanding. - Randy Pausch

The movies that I did in the '80s were either good or bad, but I never was oppressed with any feeling - I mean, I thought it was ridiculous to play high school or college students when I was 30. But at the same time, that was really done then. - Curtis Armstrong Pre-teens, teens and college students have unlimited access to the Internet - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Because of the repeated exposure they have to illegal Internet gambling sites, they fall victim by the thousands. - Spencer Bachus Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country - this music contained the real history of the people of this country. - Jackson Browne As it happened, all three of us turned out to be real writers--a coincidence almost too large to be termed mere coincidence in a society where literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of college students aspire to the write...

You know, they really do have white coats. (Sunshine) - Sherrilyn Kenyon My first college roommate greeted me with a shocked silence followed by, 'So... you're black.' - Al Roker

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy. That some people, unable to go to school, were more educated and more intelligent than college professors. - Maya Angelou We didn't even think about it, you know? I used to collect laser discs, and you'd have some college professor analyzing It's a Wonderful Life or Citizen Kane, and now it is pretty funny - the idea of commentary for a silly kid's movie, you know? - Dana Carvey I'm not just a college professor. I'm the head of a department. I don't see myself fleeing an airborne toxic event. That's for people who live in mobile homes out in the scrubby parts of the county, where the fish hatcheries are. - Don Delillo It always takes a man that never made much at any thing to tell you how to run your business, though. Like these college professors without a whole pair of socks to his name, telling you how to make a million in ten years, and a woman that couldn...

Thousands of persons, many of whom never darkened the door of a college, have learned to read books that most of our college graduates fear to tackle. teachers who understand this fact can help a student read the books that educated the Founding Fathers but not by explaining in lectures what the author would have said if he had been as bright as the lecturer. - Stringfellow Barr You know, I come from six generations of college graduates. - Julian Bond Our record number of teenagers must become our record number of high school and college graduates and our record number of teachers, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and skilled professionals. - Ruben Hinojosa According to research from punchaguywithglasses.com, homeless people are making as much money as most recent college graduates. - Jarod Kintz College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life. - Paul ...

You just need a framework and a dream. - Michael Dell Really, the potential for, first of all, any college graduate today is enormously good. These are good times for anyone with a college degree today, particularly African Americans. With a college degree today, you really breach the unemployment rate. - Alexis Herman Our record number of teenagers must become our record number of high school and college graduates and our record number of t...

Sure, he had a wife and fifty-four kids, but he looked like a college freshman. A yummy college freshman majoring in Oh-my-god-I-gotta-get-me-some-of-that. - Kim Harrison

Modest, conventional expectations weren't enough to lure Adam Brown away from the power of drug addiction that ensnared him. Instead, the college dropout already in his mid-twenties found only the big, near-impossible dream of being a Navy SEAL captivating enough to consistently draw him to different choices. - Eric Blehm Ferdinand was a gold trader. He was a lawyer for mining companies. When he entered politics in l949, he had tons and tons of gold. When Bill Gates was a college dropout, Ferdinand already possessed billions of dollars and tons of gold. It wasn't stolen. - Imelda Marcos

When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn't they matter most now? - Max Lucado Remember, you can be exalted without a college degree. You can be exalted without being slender and beautiful. You can be exalted without having a successful career. You can be exalted if you are not rich and famous. So focus the best that you can on those things in life that will lead you back to the presence of God - keeping all things in their proper balance. - M Russell Ballard I used to walk around saying that I'm just another black man without a college degree. - Jayson Blair My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is becau...

To see a player dunk in women's college basketball is just amazing. It's great to see that the game has reached that level now. - Holly Johnson Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years. - Bobby Knight I have an incredible amount of basketball knowledge, and I think a lot of that is derived from having a Hall of Fame college basketball coach who was very knowledgeable of the game and I had a great high school coach who was also very knowledgeable. - Alonzo Mourning He knew I enjoyed the relationships of college basketball. All along, he was the wise one. - Rick Pitino
