windows. No man has a right to bring up his children without surrounding them with books, if he has the means to buy them.”
“A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.”
“Every addition to true knowledge is an addition to human power.”
“Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.”
