Perfectibility Is One Of The Most Unequivocal

Revolution Is Engendered By An Indignation With Tyranny, Yet Is Itself Pregnant With Tyranny.... An Attempt To Scrutinize Men's Thoughts And Punish Their Opinions Is Of All Kinds Of Despotism The Most Odious: Yet This Is Peculiarly Character Of A Period Of Revolution.... There Is No Period More At War With The Existence Of Liberty.

The Most Desirable Mode Of Education, Is That Which Is Careful That All The Acquisitions Of The Pupil Shall Be Preceded And Accompanied By Desire . . . The Boy, Like The Man, Studies Because He Desires It. He Proceeds Upon A Plan Of Is Own Invention, Or By Which, By Adopting, He Has Made His Own. Everything Bespeaks Independence And Inequality.

All Education Is Despotism. It Is Perhaps Impossible For The Young To Be Conducted Without Introducing In Many Cases The Tyranny Implicit In Obedience. Go There; Do That; Read; Write; Rise; Lie Down - Will Perhaps Forever Be The Language Addressed To Youth By Age.

It Is Probable That There Is No One Thing That It Is Of Eminent Importance For A Child To Learn. The True Object Of Juvenile Education, Is To Provide, Against The Age Of Five And Twenty, A Mind Well Regulated, Active, And Prepared To Learn. Whatever Will Inspire Habits Of Industry And Observation, Will Sufficiently Answer This Purpose.

Hereditary Wealth Is In Reality A Premium Paid To Idleness.
