Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody's who is willing to work for it.

Education is the cheap defense of nations.

You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that's the one thing people can't take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.

When land is gone and money's spent, Then learning is most excellent.

We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.

Education is an asset no man can take away.

I don't believe in giving people money. In Sunday school [you learn] that if you teach a man to fish, you feed him for life; but you give him a fish, you feed him for a day.

Education is more valuable than money, in the long run.
