“The habit of seen the public rule, is gradually accustoming the American mind to an interference with private rights that is slowly undermining the individuality of the national character. There is getting to be so much public right, that private right is overshadowed and lost. A danger exists that the ends of liberty will be forgotten altogether in the means.” MindMeanEndsCharacterLostLibertyRightsDangerHabitForgottenIndividualityInterferenceUndermining Author:James F.

“Colonial rule means that power, initiative is taken away from you by somebody else who makes your decisions. If that goes on long enough, beyond one generation, then the habit of self-rule is forgotten. People are no longer able to realize what it means. To be dependant for a hundred years! And suddenly when this thing ends there is nobody who actually knows how to set about running the country.” PeopleIfsKnowsYearsMeanLongEndsSelfCountryEnoughRunningAbleRealizingDecisionKnow HowTakenGenerationsGoes OnHabitHundredForgottenInitiativeAway From You Author:Chinua Achebe
