The Value of Education

Education is a companion which no misfortune can decrease, no crime destroy, no enemy alienate, no despotism enslave; at home a friend, abroad an introduction, in solitude a solar, in society an ornament. It chastens vice, guides virtue, and gives grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage.

Irish lawyer Charles Phillips, O'Mullan v. M'Korkill (1817)
