He that loves reading has everything within his reach.Learning is the ally, not the adversary of genius... he who reads in a proper spirit, can scarcely read too much.Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.There can be no passion, and by consequence no love, where there is not imagination.Government will not fail to employ education, to strengthen its hands, and perpetuate its institutions.There must be room for the imagination to exercise its powers; we must conceive and apprehend a thousand things which we do not actually witness.Above all we should not forget that government is an evil, a usurpation upon the private judgement and individual conscience of mankind.God himself has no right to be a tyrant.The proper method for hastening the decay of error is by teaching every man to think for himself.My thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.
