Sivu 108 - A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or, perhaps, both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
Sivu 17 - The great object of the institution of civil government is the improvement of the condition of those who are parties to the social compact.
