"I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly" — Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain

I am determined that my children shall be brought up in their father's religion, if they can find out what it is

Most men of education are more superstitious than they admit - nay, than they think

Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots

What worries you, masters you

Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him
