“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”

“So long as governments set the example of killing their enemies, private citizens will occasionally kill theirs.”

“Old people are fond of giving good advice; it consoles them for no longer being capable of setting a bad example”

“You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your tricks of war”

“Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.”
