A very profound quote by Noah Webster.
"The foundation of all free government
and all social order must be laid in families
and in the discipline of youth.
Young persons must not only be furnished with knowledge,
but they must be accustomed to subordination
and subjected to the authority
and influence of good principles.
It will avail little that youths
are made to understand truth and correct principles,
unless they are accustomed to submit to be governed by them
... And any system of education
... which limits instruction to the arts and sciences,
and rejects the aids of religion
in forming the character of citizens,
is essentially defective."
--- Noah Webster
