Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value.

I'm sure everything has a bearing on what I'm doing. My family is a lower-middle-class family there's lots of children seven brothers two sisters grew up together fighting with each other went to school. My mother went to school up to 4th grade. My father went to school up to 8th grade. So that's about the education level we had in the family.

Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand but our ears are stopped with wisdom.

I really owe everything to my parents and their devotion and drive to see to it that their children had the education which led to the opportunities that they never were able to have.

Further Education should be about the ability to learn not the ability to pay - everyone who is able should have the opportunity regardless of their family background. I don't want to see students struggling with huge debts or frightened off even going to university in the first place.

I was really fortunate growing up to have a broad musical education. My parents listened to all kinds of music rock soul Motown jazz Frank Sinatra everything.

When women earn the money for the family everyone in the family benefits. We also know that when women have an income everyone wins because women dedicate 90% of the income to health education to food security to the children to the family or to the community so when women have an income everybody wins.

Look I want what's good for everybody. I want to promote good state education for all. I want to raise standards for all kids irrespective of race and class but why can't they all just do what I say when I know I'm right?

If we do not provide education for every single American we are consigning those without an education to second-class status.

These are important reforms. Infrastructure education health hospitals closing the gap with indigenous Australians. Also the Apology to the first Australians. As Prime Minister of the country I am proud of each and every one of these achievements.

I have maintained a passionate interest in education which leads me occasionally to make foolish and ill-considered remarks alleging that not everything is well in our schools.

Think about it: Every educated person is not rich but almost every education person has a job and a way out of poverty. So education is a fundamental solution to poverty.

Let's remember the children who come from broken homes surrounded by crime drugs temptation their peers having babies out of wedlock but who still manage to get a good education despite the many obstacles they face every day.

My parents discussed singing every night over the dinner table I had a tremendous music education.

I use every single thing that Alfred Hitchcock taught me in my acting career... I am very grateful for the education he gave me in making motion pictures.

It would be nice if education was free to everyone who wanted it but that's not the world we live in.

No other investment yields as great a return as the investment in education. An educated workforce is the foundation of every community and the future of every economy.
