Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?

The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn.

When a subject becomes totally obsolete we make it a required course.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

America is becoming so educated that ignorance will be a novelty. I will belong to the select few.

Education is a weapon whose effects depend on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.

When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.
