“No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what shoul...” — Franklin D. Roosevelt Quote

“No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.”

“Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.”

“Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.”

“The first duty of government is to see that people have food, fuel, and clothes. The second, that they have means of moral and intellectual education.”

“Fifty percent of all meaningful education takes place in the home. What do you share with your child? You share your interests. I was a book person. I read with my son. My wife is an artist. She dragged his little butt around to museums. He's an illustrator of children's books.”

“Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.”
