"I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study
Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and
Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation,
Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to
study Painting, Poetry, Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry, and
Porcelaine." -- John AdamsU.S. president, 1735–1826
