His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy.

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do.

I’ve worked with children all my life.

Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don’t they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth.
