On Sanity

"... a man's reason is his servant and not his master; that there's no notion a man chooses to receive which his reason will not justify, whether it be mistrust of his neighbor, jealousy of his wife, doubts about his religion, or contempt for his country. 

The only safeguard against fallacies which undermine the strength of the nation morally and economically is a liberal education which affords a wide field for reflection in comparison and abundant data upon which to found sound judgments."

-Charlotte Mason
