“My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading.”
“With a mind as bright as yours you will want to find a proper school to continue your education. ..... You must continue the education your mother began. Young women must have an education.”
“Education begins the gentleman, but reading, good company and reflection must finish him.”
“To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worthwhile. [....] The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.”
