"What is defeat? Nothing but education. Nothing but the first step to something better." ― Wendell Phillips Topic(s): Education More From Wendell Phillips "Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victories." "Difference of religion breeds more quarrels than difference of politics." "You can always get the truth from an American statesman after he has turned seventy, or given up all hope of the Presidency." More In Education "I had never done anything with blue screen before, or prosthetics, or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But, to be honest, I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I thought they would really work with my bare head.Working with Martin Scorsese was an absolute minute-by-minute education without him ever being grandiose about it."― Cate Blanchett "Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon."― Alexander Pope "Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream."― Blanche Lincoln
