We are quite rich enough to defend ourselves, whatever the cost. We must now learn that we are quite rich enough to educate ourselves as we need to be educated.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Education is the cheap defense of nations.
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
We should be trying to make education less expensive, not more.
To defend a country you need an army, but to defend a civilization you need education.
We have entered an age in which education is not just a luxury permitting some men an advantage over others. It has become a necessity without which a person is defenseless in this complex, industrialized society. We have truly entered the century of the educated man.
Unless we have a well-educated people, we're vulnerable on our national security.
Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we're turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that's because we still have the opportunity here.
A well-educated populace is the backbone of our middle-class.
The failures that we have are sometimes expensive educations.
We no longer live in a world that is neatly divided between rich and well-educated countries, and poor and badly-educated ones.
