What makes me angry? The education of children. How in God's name can you expect to have a functioning society the way we teach our kids?

Economic prosperity and quality education for our children are inexorably linked.

I'm not sure it's the stimulus money that will necessarily allow the economy to recover. It will help to fortify our budgets, frankly, to ensure that there isn't as much backsliding in the areas of education and healthcare, for example.

A writer should get as much education as possible, but just going to school is not enough if it were, all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.

But instead of standing up for reason, our government is handing education over to the world of faith.

My votes against the education bill and my votes against the Medicare bill got huge play at home.

Look, I want what's good for everybody. I want to promote good state education for all. I want to raise standards for all kids, irrespective of race and class but why can't they all just do what I say when I know I'm right?

Mothers, unless they were very poor, didn't work. Both of my parents had to leave education. My mother had to work in a cotton mill until 18 or 19, when she took some training in domestic science.

As the true object of education is not to render the pupil the mere copy of his preceptor, it is rather to be rejoiced in, than lamented, that various reading should lead him into new trains of thinking.

Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.
