One Hundred Seventy-Six

I believe in the existence of a great, immutable principle of natural law, or natural ethics which proves the absolute right of every human being that comes into the world an education; and which, of course, proves the correlative duty of every government to see that the means of that education are provided for all. – Horace Mann

The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government. – Sam Houston
