Sir Thomas More, Utopia, Book 1

For if you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves and then punish them.

Sir Thomas More, Utopia, Book 1

It is the duty of righteous men to make war on all undeserved privilege, but one must not forget that this is a war without end.”
