The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused
through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free
government.

Sam Houston



Cultivated mind is the guardian genius of Democracy, and while guided
and controlled by virtue, the noblest attribute of man. It is the only
dictator that freemen acknowledge, and the only security which freemen
desire.

Mirabeau B. Lamar



Where liberty has arisen, learning must be cherished--or liberty itself
becomes a fragile thing.
