Nobody gives you an education. If you want one, you have to take it.

Government schooling is the most radical adventure in history. It kills the family by monopolizing the best times of childhood and by teaching disrespect for home and parents.

Genius is an exceedingly common human quality, probably natural to most of us.

Whatever an education is, it should make you a unique individual, not a conformist.

Why are you so docile when you give up your child to a government agent called a schoolteacher?

...good things happen to the human spirit when it is left alone.

Who besides a degraded rabble would voluntarily present itself to be graded and classified like meat? No wonder school is compulsory.
