He said "The purpose of an education is to keep the world from cheating you". I leater read it in Ebony September 2004 issue. An artical by lerone Bennet,"The Last Of the Great Educators" In the article there was this quote," If you are ignorant,the world will cheat you,if you are weak the world will kick you, and if you are a coward the world will keep you running".; November 18, 2011 at 12:22 PM

He gave me a quick answer,"The purpose for education is to keep the world from Cheating you". I later saw it in an article written by Lerone Bennet in Ebony Magazine September 2004"The Alast of The Great Educators" He was quoted "If you are ignorant the world will cheat you, If you are weak the world will cheat you , and if you are a coward the world will keep you running".
