“I'd love to be a saxophonist. I don't know why, but I pretend I'm the saxophonist when I listen to music. I have about as much chance playing the sax as I do learning how to fly.”

The trick in life is learning how to deal with it.
Learning is the ally, not the adversary of genius... he who reads in a proper spirit, can scarcely read too much.
Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited, that blights their life.
Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket and do not pull it out, and strike it, merely to show that you have one.
