• Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave.

Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.

• Nothing that is not a real crime makes a man appear so contemptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconsistency, especially when it regards religion or party.
