"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude." "I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all."

They wake up in the morning and that’s the best they’re going to feel all day."― Dean Martin "Education is the leading of human souls to what is best, and making what is best out of them."― John Ruskin
