"It is the understanding that sees and hears; it is the understanding that improves everything, that orders everything, and that acts, rules, and reigns."

politicians ... turn patriotism into shopkeeping and their own interest - men who care far more for who governs us than for how we are governed.. And what will be the end of such ways? I will tell you. We shall have a Democracy that will be the reign of those who know the least and talk the loudest.
