Reagan on Heroism

“We count on their conscience, their courage, and their concern.”

April 18, 1985

“And most of all, good teachers care. They care very much about what they teach, about the curiosity they instill, about how well their students learn, and where their lives will lead. So, we look to teachers, and we look up to teachers. We count on their conscience, their courage, and their concern.”
