Power Quote for the WeekWelcome to Sunday's regular feature. Every week you can look for a witty, wise, or profound quotation from assorted folks about power.
I choose these quotations about power as it refers to electricity, since that is what this blog is about. Sometimes though, I'll select a quotation about power, as it relates to the human condition.
Thomas Jefferson,(April 13, 1743 – July 4, 1826) was the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776). He said, "I know of no safe repository of the ultimate power of society but people. And if we think them not enlightened enough, the remedy is not to take the power from them, but to inform them by education."
Bringing Meaning To Madness
Our educational system will make us a stronger nation or doom us to peril to repeat the mistakes of other nations. Standards should always be kept high not lowered. When society places their trust in their government to manage education, medical health and welfare, that is the beginning of the downward spiral of a nation into mediocrity, followed by anarchy and a revolution. Our current leaders are pushing us straight toward mediocrity at this very time in history. Are you concerned enough to speak up?
