Education...beyond all other devices of human origin, is a great equalizer of conditions of men --the balance wheel of the social machinery...It does better than to disarm the poor of their hostility toward the rich; it prevents being poor.

Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark, all is deluge.

Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery.

Schoolhouses are the republican line of fortifications.

Education is our only political safety. Outside of this ark all is deluge.

Education alone can conduct us to that enjoyment which is, at once, best in quality and infinite in quantity.

Education must bring the practice as nearly as possible to the theory. As the children now are, so will the sovereigns soon be.
