“Our progress as a nation can be not swifter than our progress in education.”— John F. Kennedy Related Quotes “Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education.”– Henry Adams “The suggestion that the normal human brain has an almost infinite capacity is important: it means that almost everyone is educable. Given enough time and the right opportunities, everyone can learn anything. It is a sad commentary on the training and teaching profession that so many people feel that they are incapable of learning; surely our teaching and instruction is at fault when we reject someone as a failure. How can we say they have not learned when we have used only a small part of the learner’s mental capacity. Mea culpa.”— Julie Cotton “Whatever education I got was from experience and reading. But I also realize I wouldn’t pass my friend’s sixth-grade class.”– Michelle Williams
