“My Compatriots (The Sonnet) Any compatriot of mine, Better have a grasp of prejudice. Arrogance sickens my soul, My heart revolts at the snobbish. Doubts can be healthy, But only if driven by curiosity. When driven by contempt, They only facilitate animosity. You don't have to agree, With the whole of my notion. But don't turn bitter my friend, For it is a trap of degradation. Logic may fail sometimes as well as sentiments. Never you lose o patriot your indivisible humanness.”

“Studies of the effects of education confirm that educated people really are more enlightened. They are less racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, and authoritarian. They place a higher value on imagination, independence, and free speech. They are more likely to vote, volunteer, express political views, and belong to civic associations such as unions, political parties, and religious and community organizations. They are also likelier to trust their fellow citizens, a prime ingredient of the precious elixir called social capital which gives people the confidence to contract, invest, and obey the law without fearing that they are chumps who will be shafted by everyone else. For all these reasons, the growth of education and its first dividend, literacy is a flagship of human progress.”
