Quote #11 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Culture

“When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men -- those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
