It Is Easier To Find People Fit

The Finest Opportunity Ever Given To The World Was Thrown Away Because The Passion Of Equality Made Vain The Hope For Freedom.

For Centuries It Was Never Discovered That Education Was A Function Of The State, And The State Never Attempted To Educate. But When Modern Absolutism Arose, It Laid Claim To Everything On Behalf Of The Sovereign Power....when The Revolutionary Theory Of Government Began To Prevail, And Church And State Found That They Were Educating For Opposite Ends And In A Contradictory Spirit, It Became Necessary To Remove Children Entirely From The Influence Of Religion.

There Are Many Things The Government Cant Do, Many Good Purposes It Must Renounce. It Must Leave Them To The Enterprise Of Others. It Cannot Feed The People. It Cannot Enrich The People. It Cannot Teach The People. It Cannot Convert The People.

A History That Should Pursue All The Subtle Threads From End To End Might Be Eminently Valuable, But Not As A Tribute To Peace And Conciliation.

It Is Easier To Find People Fit To Govern Themselves Than People Fit To Govern Others.
