"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Skipping School: Eight Alternatives to College
"Whenever I suggest that people shouldn't send their kids to college, a lot of very smart people invariably ask: "Well, what else should they do?" And this amazes me.

"But when I saw my girlfriend and everyone else taking their classes, I got a little jealous. I returned the car, canceled the check, and entered my sophomore year of college. But I regret it now." ~ James Altucher
