“Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers.”
-- Thomas Hodgskin -
“I look in a right of property - on the right of individuals, to have and to own, for their own separate and selfish use and enjoyments, the produce of their own industry, with power freely to dispose of the whole of that in the manner most agreeable to themselves, as essential to the welfare and even to the continued existence of society.”
-- Thomas HodgskinSource : Thomas HODGSKIN (1832). “The Natural and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted. A Series of Letters Addressed, Without Permission, to H. Brougham, Esq., ... by the Author of “Labour Defended Against the Claims of Capital.” [T. Hodgskin. Each Letter Subscribed, “Labourer.”]”, p.24

“Men had better be without education than be educated by their rulers; for their education is but the mere breaking in of the steer to the yoke; the mere discipline of the hunting dog, which, by dint of severity, is made to forego the strongest impulse of his nature, and instead of devouring his prey, to hasten with it to the feet of his master.”
-- Thomas Hodgskin
