“Education is not limited to knowledge received from books or schools. It comes from experiences, observation, association with others, etc.; in fact from all the five senses of man, and is obtained throughout life. We must become educated if we are to survive as a nation, since education is the strongest weapon of a democracy – it is our arsenal of power – and when it is flavored with the generosity and tolerance of the kind and generous Nazarene we cannot fail.” –Junius W. Pulley
