The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise... Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can't move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.

Teachers need our active support and encouragement. They are doing one of the most necessary and exacting jobs in the land. They are developing our most precious national resource: our children, our future citizens.

Every home is a university and the parents are the teachers.

Young people must take it upon themselves to ensure that they receive the highest education possible so that they can represent us well in future as future leaders.
