So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense.

More quotes by Jonathan Sacks
It's commonly said that people who've been ill in childhood and who've had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don't look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that's a help.
– John Keegan
More quotes by John Keegan
