Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.
A child miseducated is a child lost.
The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.
