Self-respect to be nourished in the mind of the pupil, is one of the most valuable results of a well conducted education.
William GodwinMy thoughts will be taken up with the future or the past, with what is to come or what has been. Of the present there is necessarily no image.
William GodwinObey; this may be right; but beware of reverence.... Government is nothing but regulated force; force is its appropriate claim upon your attention. It is the business of individuals to persuade; the tendency of concentrated strength, is only to give consistency and permanence to an influence more compendious than persuasion.
William Godwin
