  1. A quotation from Ulysses Grant

    Let us all labor to add all needful guarantees for the more perfect security of free thought, free speech, and free press, pure morals, unfettered religious sentiments, and of equal rights and privileges to all men, irrespective of nationality, color, or religion. Encourage free schools, and resolve that not one dollar of money shall be appropriated to the support of any sectarian school. Resolve that neither the state nor nation, or both combined, shall support institutions of learning other than those sufficient to afford every child growing up in the land the opportunity of a good common school education, unmixed with sectarian, Pagan, or Atheistical tenets. Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private schools, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the Church and the State forever Separate.

    Ulysses S. Grant (1822–1885) American military leader, US President (1869–77)
    Speech (1875-09-25), Address to the Army of the Tennessee, Annual Reunion, Des Moines, Iowa

  4. A quotation from Bertrand Russell

    Children, like grown-ups, enjoy the sense of achievement derived from mastering a difficulty, but this requires a consistency of effort of which few are capable without some outside encouragement. The capacity for consistent self-direction is one of the most valuable that a human being can possess. It is practically unknown in young children, and is never developed either by a very rigid discipline or by complete freedom.

    Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) English mathematician and philosopher
    Education and the Social Order [Education and the Modern World], ch. 2 “The Negative Theory of Education” (1932)

  7. A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

    A child should always say what’s true
       And speak when he is spoken to,
    And behave mannerly at table;
       At least as far as he is able.

    Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
    Poem (1885), “Whole Duty of Children,” A Child’s Garden of Verses

  10. A quotation from Steven Levitt

    No one is more susceptible to an experts fearmongering than a parent. Fear is in fact a major component of the act of parenting. A parent, after all, is the steward of another creature’s life, a creature who in the beginning is more helpless than the newborn of nearly any other species. This leads a lot of parents to spend a lot of their parenting energy simply being scared.

    Steven Levitt (b. 1967) American economist and author
    Freakonomics, ch. 5 “What Makes A Perfect Parent?” (2005) [with Stephen Dubner]

  13. A quotation from John Adams

    It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Letter (1775-10-29) to Abigail Adams
