"Public instruction should be the first object..." - Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

“If fifty thousand men were to die for the good of the State, I certainly would weep for them, but political necessity comes before everything else.”

“Occupation is the scythe of time.”

“Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.”

“I don't think most teachers realize how much impact they have.”

“The only time my education was interrupted was when I was in school.”

“Unbounded hopes were placed on each successive extension of the electoral franchise, culminating in the enfranchisement of women.These hopes have been disappointed, because the voters, male and female, being politically untrained and uneducated, have (a) no grasp of constructive measures; (b) loathe taxation as such; (c) dislike being governed at all; and (d) dread and resent any extension of official interference as an encroachment on their personal liberty.”

“We are a nation of laws.”

“I do have an obligation to make sure that I am following some of the rules. I can't simply ignore laws that are out there.”

“The dead should not rule the living”
