I am Peter Pan. He represents youth, childhood, never growing up, magic, flying.
My hobby more and more is likely to be common school education, or universal education.
The giving of love is an education in itself.
We should not teach children the sciences; but give them a taste for them.
It should begin much earlier with arts education in the American school system, which is sadly deficient.

Education doesn't just take place in stuffy classrooms and university buildings, it can happen everywhere, every day to every person.
The right of education of the female sex, as it is in a manner everywhere neglected, so it ought to be generally lamented. Most in this depraved later age think a woman learned and wise enough if she can distinguish her husband's bed from another's.
We have to make sure that college is accessible and affordable. Two years ago, I stood here and called upon our institutions of higher learning to develop plans for degrees that cost no more than $10,000. There were plenty of detractors at that time who insisted it couldn't be done. However, that call inspired educators at colleges and universities across our state to step up to the plate. Today, I'm proud to tell you that thirteen Texas universities have announced plans for a $10,000 degree.
Every education system on Earth has the same hierarchy of subjects: at the top are mathematics and languages, then the humanities, and the bottom are the arts.
Being a doctor at Johns Hopkins does not make me any better in God's sight than the individual who has not had the opportunity to gain such an education but who still works hard.
The investigation of mathematical truths accustoms the mind to method and correctness in reasoning, and is an employment peculiarly worthy of rational beings.
Arts education must be part of our education solution because it works for all students.
I've never been a big believer in formal education.
The highest good and solely useful is liberal education.
Educate the heart. Let us have good men.
The Occupy Wall Street collective is confused about what it wants but it wants it now! Some of the loonier demands from its independent thinkers: Striking all existing public and private debt from the books across the "entire planet"; elimination of all international borders; free college education; a guaranteed "living wage" for all regardless of employment; an end to free trade; trillions in additional spending for infrastructure and ecological restoration; and ending the fossil fuel economy.
It is hard to learn when we think we know something.
The rascal multitude are the proper targets of the mass media and a public education system geared to obedience and training in needed skills, including the skill of repeating patriotic slogans on timely occasions.
A good head and good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen, then you have something very special.
