"The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth." ― John F. Kennedy Topic(s): Education Tags: education More From John F. Kennedy "The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy." "The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission." "We cannot expect that all nations will adopt like systems, for conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth." More In Education "Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants."― John W. Gardner "Education is a continual process, it’s like a bicycle… If you don’t pedal you don’t go forward."― George Weah "Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education."― William Godwin
