"The education of all children, from the..." - Quote by Karl Marx

“In order to arouse sympathy, the aristocracy was obliged to lose sight, apparently, of its own interests, and to formulate its indictment against the bourgeoisie in the interest of the exploited working class alone. Thus, the aristocracy took their revenge by singing lampoons on their new masters and whispering in his ears sinister prophesies of coming catastrophe.”

“The circulation of capital realizes value , while living labour creates value .”

“In every stockjobbing swindle every one knows that some time or other the crash must come, but every one hopes that it may fall on the head of his neighbor, after he himself has caught the shower of gold and placed it in safety.”

“The Good Spirit never cared for the colleges, and though all men and boys were now drilled in Greek, Latin, and Mathematics, it had quite left these shells high on the beach, and was creating and feeding other matters [science] at other ends of the world.”

“Do not use compulsion, but let early education be rather a sort of amusement.”

“Mathematics is like draughts in being suitable for the young, not too difficult, amusing, and without peril to the state.”

“If fifty thousand men were to die for the good of the State, I certainly would weep for them, but political necessity comes before everything else.”

“To the rulers of the state then, if to any, it belongs of right to use falsehood, to deceive either enemies or their own citizens, for the good of the state: and no one else may meddle with this privilege.”

“Our children need strong families raising them with sturdy virtues, not to be smothered in the cold arms of the state.”
