When I was a boy on the Mississippi River there was a proposition in a township there to discontinue public schools because they were too expensive. An old farmer spoke up and said if they stopped the schools they would not save anything, because every time a schools was closed a jail had to be built.
The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.
Education consists mainly in what we have unlearned.
Education is what you must acquire without any interference from your schooling.
In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice. Then he made schoolboards.
Out of the public schools grows the greatness of a nation.
<談教育>
小時候,我住在密西西比河畔,當時鎮區裡有人主張停辦公立學校,因經費太高。一位老農夫開口說,停辦學校,省不了一毛錢,因每關閉一所學校,就得蓋一間監獄。
不讀好書的人,一點也不比無法讀書的人優秀。
教育,主要在於我們尚未學習的事務。
教育,是在不受任何學校教育干擾的情況下,務必習得之事。
上帝先創造白癡,當做練習,接著祂創造教育委員會。
國家的偉大,自公立學校滋生成長。
