Good governance demands the exercise of wisdom, patience, and courage.
A people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
Those who have been blessed with the privileges of education should be the guardians of those privileges for the benefit of all.
Nothing is more essential than that permanent, inveterate antipathies against particular nations, and passionate attachments for others, should be excluded; and that, in place of them, just and amicable feelings towards all should be cultivated.
