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

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.

Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That's one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
