Just another one of those quotes...

John Adams wrote his wife, Abigail, from Philadelphia:
"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, and naval architecture ... in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, tapestry, and porcelain".


The founding fathers seemed to have a very keen and timeless grasp of the fundamentals.
