A Quote by Thomas Jefferson

   "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers
      of the society but the people themselves, and if we
         think them not enlightened enough to exercise
    control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not
to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education."

                          --  Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C. Jarvis,
                    September 28, 1820
