Three millions of people, so dead to all the feelings of liberty as voluntarily to submit to be slaves, would have been fit instruments to make slaves of the rest.
Wherever is found what is called a paternal government, there is found state education. It has been found that the best way to insure implicit obedience is to commence tyranny in the nursery.
Benjamin Disraeli, speech in the House of Commons (15 June 1874)
All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people.
James A. Garfield, letter to B. A. Hinsdale (21 April 1880), as published in The Nation's Hero – In Memoriam: The life of James Abram Garfield (1881) by Jonas Mills Bundy
