Education is the cheap defense of nations.

In large states public education will always be mediocre, for the same reason that in large kitchens the cooking is usually bad.

I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated.

Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence.

I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.

Without peace, all other dreams vanish and are reduced to ashes.
