Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson speaks about tyranny & education
“Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”
he was a man of “some” contradictions but he got it right about the value of education
Thomas Jefferson speaks
“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion.”
