The complete education gives one not only power of concentration but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate.

It is unwise to make education too cheap. If everything is provided freely, there is a tendency to put no value on anything. Education must always have a certain price on it; even as the very process of learning itself must always require individual effort and initiative.

The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation.

It is not beyond our power to create a world in which all children have access to a good education. Those who do not believe this have small imaginations.

Deeds uninformed by educated thought can take false directions. When we go into action and confront our adversaries, we must be as armed with knowledge as they.

Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.
