“From my point of view, of all the causes of misfortunes in human life, there is nothing more pathetic than lack of knowledge and lack of reasoning power. From the upper class of men, such as political leaders, men of wealth, and masters of great households, down to the lower classes, workers, and petti-officials, there are too many instances of people who lack education or the ability to make use of it. Their ignorance is not only their loss but it is to the disadvantage of the whole society as well.”
