| A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps, both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. |
| ~ Letter to W. T. Barry, August 4, 1822 (James Madison, 1865, III, page 276) ~ |

| Quote of the moment |
| Faith dispels doubt and hesitation, it liberates you from suffering and delivers you to the city of peace and happiness. It is faith that removes the mental turbidity and makes your mind clear. Faith reduces your pride and is the root of veneration. It is the supreme lake because you can easily traverse from one stage of the spiritual path to another. It is like your hand, which can gather all the virtuous qualities. |
| ~ The Path to Tranquility, June 19, 14th Dalai Lama ~ |
