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.

What is really needed to make democracy function is not knowledge of facts, but right education.

We know it because democracy alone, of all forms of government, enlists the full force of men's enlightened will.

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

We must nurture tolerance, collective wisdom, and democracy.
