Enlighten the
people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and
mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.
-- Thomas Jefferson
1743-1826, Third President of
the USA
I can prove at
any time that my education tried to make another person out
of me than the one I became. It is for the harm, therefore,
that my educators could have done me in accordance with
their intentions that I reproach them; I demand from their
hands the person I now am, and since they cannot give him to
me, I make of my reproach and laughter a drumbeat sounding
in the world beyond.
-- Franz Kafka
1883-1924, German Novelist,
Short-Story Writer
Let us think
of education as the means of developing our greatest
abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and
dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for
everyone and greater strength for our nation.
-- John F. Kennedy
1917-1963, Thirty-fifth
President of the USA
Our progress
as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in
education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
-- John F. Kennedy
1917-1963, Thirty-fifth
President of the USA
