Quote #11 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and The Establishment
“Appeal to the people, and brutalized as they are, they listen and half open their eyes. They partly throw off the most humiliating yoke that has ever been borne. They rid themselves of some of their errors, and win back a part of their freedom, that appanage or essence of man of which they had been robbed. We cannot cure the powerful ambition, but we can cure the people of superstition. We can, by speech and pen, make men more enlightened and better.”
