Well Educated – Page 4

I was a very

I was a very nice boy. I was well-educated … very Catholic family. So I was very respectful, never late at work. I was always the last one to leave. It’s always been that way in my life. Riccardo Tisci

Too much of what

Too much of what passes for design now is theater. It’s one thing to be eccentric- and by the way, most eccentrics tend to be rather well-educated people – and quite another to be a faddist, by which I mean someone who tries to conjure a totally foreign aesthetic in a misplaced environment. Albert Hadley

I think most of

I think most of [people] are not very well educated themselves to understand the Winston Churchill line – democracy is the worst of all governments until you consider all the other ones. Reid Hoffman

The best audience is

The best audience is one that is intelligent, well-educated, and a little drunk. Alben W. Barkley

Supporters of this fundamental change in immigration policy say we need to import more well-educated talent if we’re to stay competitive. But exactly whose competitiveness are we talking about? Not the competitiveness of, say, American-born computer engineers. Adjusted for inflation, their earnings haven’t gone anywhere in years.
