Liberty Is The Prevention Of Control By Others. This Requires Self-control And, Therefore, Religious And Spiritual Influences; Education, Knowledge, Well-being.

For Centuries It Was Never Discovered That Education Was A Function Of The State, And The State Never Attempted To Educate. But When Modern Absolutism Arose, It Laid Claim To Everything On Behalf Of The Sovereign Power....when The Revolutionary Theory Of Government Began To Prevail, And Church And State Found That They Were Educating For Opposite Ends And In A Contradictory Spirit, It Became Necessary To Remove Children Entirely From The Influence Of Religion.

The Fate Of Every Democracy, Of Every Government Based On The Sovereignty Of The People, Depends On The Choices It Makes Between These Opposite Principles, Absolute Power On The One Hand, And On The Other The Restraints Of Legality And The Authority Of Tradition.

We Are Not Sure We Are Right Until We Have Made The Best Case Possible For Those Who Are Wrong.

There Are Many Things The Government Cant Do, Many Good Purposes It Must Renounce. It Must Leave Them To The Enterprise Of Others. It Cannot Feed The People. It Cannot Enrich The People. It Cannot Teach The People. It Cannot Convert The People.
