Mark Twain on Education

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.- Speech 11/23/1900

In the first place God made idiots. This was for practice. Then He made school boards.- Following the Equator, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar

Training is everything. The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but Cabbage with a College Education.- The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson and the Comedy of the Extraordinary Twins
