Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble, I should judge, to lie with the schools.

The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.

Any man can learn anything he will, but no man can teach except to those who want to learn.

Without education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it's very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

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.

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.
