A Companion - Education




"Education is a companion 
which no misfortune can depress, 
no crime can destroy, 
no enemy can alienate, 
no despotism can enslave. 
At home, a friend, 
abroad, an introduction,
 in solitude a solace 
and in society an ornament. 
It chastens vice, 
it guides virtue,
 it gives at once grace 
and government to genius.
 Without it, what is man?
 A splendid slave, 
a reasoning savage." 
Joseph Addison
