Freedom of conscience, of education, of speech, of assembly are among the very fundamentals of democracy and all of them would be nullified should freedom of the press ever be successfully challenged.

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

The true purpose of education is to prepare young men and women for effective citizenship in a free form of government.

An educated, enlightened & informed population is one of the surest ways of promoting the health of a democracy.

The object of education was to produce a desire to serve the community as a whole and to apply the knowledge gained not only for personal but for public welfare.

If you look at the people who have high impact, they have pretty general knowledge. They don't have a really narrowly focused education.
