“Many politicians of our time are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water until he had learnt to swim.

—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)

“Although adults have a role to play in teaching social skills to children, it is often best that they play it unobtrusively.

—Zick Rubin (20th century)
