Those parents who do not educate their sons are their enemies; for as is a crane among swans, so are ignorant sons in a public assembly.

Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble, I should judge, to lie with the schools.

The purpose of education is to make good human beings with skill and expertise... Enlightened human beings can be created by teachers.

Until we're educating every kid in a fantastic way, until every inner city is cleaned up, there is no shortage of things to do.
