To be able to be caught up into the world of thought – that is to be educated.
It is one thing to show a person that s/he is in error, and another to put her/him in possession of truth.

Education is not a product: mark, diploma, job, money – in that order; it is a process, a never-ending one.
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.
The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. Good luck!

The flag of the United States has not been created by rhetorical sentences in declarations of independence and in bills of rights.

Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.
If a June night could talk, it would probably boast it invented romance.
What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn’t.
The illiterate of the 21st Century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
The best qualification of a prophet is to have a good memory.
The world is moving so fast these days that the person who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
Never cut what you can untie.
Do what we can, summer will have its flies.
Let there be spaces in your togetherness.
Do not choose to be wrong for the sake of being different.
We should try to live so that our death brings no pleasure to the world.
The thing we run from is the thing we run to.
Before we can go on making workers, we must first make people.
