Education & Freedom

"A nation of well informed men
who have been taught to know and prize the rights
which God has given them cannot be enslaved.
It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins."

Benjamin Franklin
(1706-1790) US Founding Father

"To educate a man is to unfit him to be a slave."

Frederick Douglass
[Frederick Baily] (1818-1895), escaped slave, Abolitionist, author, editor of the North Star and later the New National Era

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
(1749-1832)
