My idea of education is to unsettle the minds of the young and inflame their intellects.

To solve a problem it is necessary to think. It is necessary to think even to decide what facts to collect.

...The task is overwhelming, and the chance is slight. We must take the chance or die.

A world community can exist only with world communication, which means something more than extensive short-wave facilities scattered; about the globe. It means common understanding, a common tradition, common ideas, and common ideals.

Every act of every man is a moral act, to be tested by moral, and not by economic criteria.

America's experiment with government of the people, by the people, and for the people depends not only on constitutional structure and organization but also on the commitment, person to person, that we make to each other.

It must be remembered that the purpose of education is not to fill the minds of students with facts... it is to teach them to think.
