“If ever there was a cause, if ever there can be a cause, worthy to be upheld by all of toil or sacrifice that the human heart can endure, it is the cause of Education. It has intrinsic and indestructible merits. It holds the welfare of mankind in its embrace, as the protecting arms of a mother hold her infant to her bosom. The very ignorance and selfishness which obstructs its path are the strongest arguments for its promotion, for it furnishes the only adequate means for their removal.” IfsHumansHeartMeanMotherCausesEducationPathSacrificeMankindIgnoranceArmsArgumentEmbraceEndureWorthySelfishnessWelfareMeritStrongestToilHuman HeartInfantAdequatePromotionBosomsRemovalIndestructibleAdequate Means Book:Thoughts Source: Thoughts
“Those who want their rights respected under the Constitution and the law ought to set the example themselves of observing the Constitution and the law.
