Famous quotes containing the word education:
“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 will always solve the problems of the human race.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

—D.H. (David Herbert)
“In my state, on the basis of the separate but equal doctrine, we have made enormous strides over the years in the education of both races.

—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
