Education is the cheap defense of nations.

Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.

I add this, that rational ability without education has oftener raised man to glory and virtue, than education without natural ability.

The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else.

Establishing lasting peace is the work of education all politics can do is keep us out of war.
