Quotes on Education
The better part of every man's education is that which he gives himself.
James Russell Lowell
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
Calvin Coolidge

Ronald Wilson Reagan
In America we created at the local level and administered at the local level for many years the greatest public school system in the world.

Ronald Wilson Reagan
