“Preparation for the future was necessary, and he was willing to admit that the great change would perhaps come in the upheaval of a revolution. But he argued that revolutionary propaganda was a delicate work of high conscience. It was the education of the masters of the world. It should be as careful as the education given to kings.”

“The greatest education in the world is watching the masters at work”

“Educate a woman and you educate her family. Educate a girl and you change the future.”

“The more Adams thought about the future of his country, the more convinced he became that it rested on education. Before any great things are accomplished, he wrote to a correspondent, a memorable change must be made in the system of education and knowledge must become so general as to raise the lower ranks of society nearer to the higher. The education of a nation instead of being confined to a few schools and universities for the instruction of the few, must become the national care and expense for the formation of the many.”

“I would say, then, that you are faced with a future in which education is going to be number one amongst the great world industries.”

“Education, therefore, is a process of living and not a preparation for future living.”
