No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned.

There is no learning without remembering.

My mother taught me three things: respect, knowledge, search for knowledge. It's an eternal journey.

A primary object should be the education of our youth in the science of government. In a republic, what species of knowledge can be equally important? And what duty more pressing than communicating it to those who are to be the future guardians of the liberties of the country?

I believe there exists, & I feel within me, an instinct for the truth, or knowledge or discovery, of something of the same nature as the instinct of virtue, & that our having such an instinct is reason enough for scientific researches without any practical results ever ensuing from them.

Knowledge cannot be taken away from anyone except by obsolescence.
