America is the best half-educated country in the world.

I read Shakespeare and the Bible, and I can shoot dice. That's what I call a liberal education.

Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.

If an ignorant person is attracted by the things of the world, that is bad. But if a learned person is thus attracted, it is worse.
