A father is a thousand schoolmasters.
We schoolmasters must temper discretion with deceit.
In truth , mankind cannot be saved from without, by schoolmasters or any other sort of masters: it can only be lamed and enslaved by them. It is said that if you wash a cat it will never again wash itself. This may or may not be true : what is certain is that if you teach a man anything he will never learn it; and if you cure him of a disease he will be unable to cure himself the next time it attacks him.
Schools and schoolmasters, as we have them today, are not popular as places of education and teachers, but rather prisons and turnkeys in which children are kept to prevent them disturbing and chaperoning their parent.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
Schoolmasters and parents exist to be grown out of.
Newspapers are the schoolmasters of the common people.
A good mother is worth hundreds of schoolmasters.
