War and Peace
"I must study politics and
war, that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My
sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history
and naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to
give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture,
statuary, tapestry, and porcelain."
-- John Adams, 1780
