Webster, "does not comprise all which is contained in the large term 'education'. The feelings are to be disciplined, the passions are to be restrained, true and worthy motives are to be instilled, and pure morality inculcated under all circumstances. All this comprised in education." "Teach," said Seneca, "the art of living well." "Reason and experience both forbid us to expect," said Washington, "that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principles." "Educate men without religion," said the Duke of Wellington, "and you make of them but clever devils." "Religion and liberty are inseparable," said Philip Schaff. "True religion," said Burk, "is the foundation of society. When that is once shaken by contempt the whole fabric cannot be stable or lasting."
