We are born weak, we need strength; helpless, we need aid; foolish, we need reason. All that we lack at birth, all that we need when we come to man's estate, is the gift of education. What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue. Free people, remember this maxim: We may acquire liberty, but it is never recovered if it is once lost. |
