The Father of the Constitution, and fourth President, James Madison, said, “A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.”
This quote from his inaugural address, on March 4, 1797 is such wonderful words of wisdom spoken over 200 years ago.
