Thoughts to Ponder for April 25, 2014

"Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day . . . . I believe it [human condition] susceptible of much improvement, and most of all, in matters of government and religion; and that the diffusion of knowledge among the people is to be the instrument by which it is effected." Thomas Jefferson, April 24, 1816 . (to Dupont de Nemours)
