Sam Houston Quotes:
Ocupation: Former United States Senator
Life: March 2, 1793 - July 26, 1863
Birthday: March 2
Death: July 26
It is a matter of great satisfaction to me to hope that my children will be in circumstances to receive a good education. Mine was defective and I feel the inconvenience, if not the misfortune of not receiving a classical education. Knowledge is the food of genius, and my son, let no opportunity escape you to treasure up knowledge.
